2009–10 Scunthorpe United F.C. season

Season summary

Scunthorpe struggled all season on their return to the Championship, but eventually managed to survive. The goals of Gary Hooper, who was third-highest top-scorer in the Championship with 19, ahead of the likes of Charlie Adam and Andy Carroll, were crucial to the club's survival, but he left at the end of the season to join Scottish giants Celtic. His strike partner, Paul Hayes, also left, to Preston North End, making Scunthorpe's task of surviving in the Championship for a second consecutive season all the more difficult.

Kit

Scunthorpe's kit was manufactured by Carlotti and sponsored by Rainham Steel, with Smith's Fashion as secondary kit sponsors. Scunthorpe's home kits reverted to stripes for the first time since 1992, with the home kits featuring blue shirts, black shorts and blue socks with black turnovers.
