Bradford set to shop Scunthorpe
Bradford will report Scunthorpe to the Football League for fielding a weakened team in the Iron's 2-1 win in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Bantams boss Colin Todd was not happy with the nine changes Scunthorpe made to their team from the weekend.
Todd told BBC Radio Leeds: "When I got their team sheet I asked our secretary Jon Pollard to check if it contained six first-team players.
"It didn't and I find that disgusting, a lack of respect."
An angry Todd added: "What is the point of having rules if you're not going to abide by them?"
Under new rules introduced into the competition this season, clubs are required to include a majority of the 11 players that have appeared most often in first-team games during the season.
It was introduced by the Football League as an attempt to curb the practice of clubs fielding weakened teams in the early rounds.
