As Iron-Bru.net told you on Monday, only Chesterfield and Southend are considered less likely to win the League One title than Scunthorpe.

Online bookmakers bet365 rate the Iron as 40/1 outsiders, but Laws insists that it will only spur his side on.

Last season they were 45/1 for the League Two title, but took the race down to the wire and were only denied by Champions Yeovil on the final day of the season.

He told the Press Association: "I don't take a lot of notice of what bookies say, they never get it right. I don't think they really know a lot about football anyway.

"What we achieved last season was incredible and any suggestions that we might struggle will only make us more determined next season.

"We'll be going to new places, playing new teams, but there is no need to change the way we approach things."
