Rangers striker Rob Hulse nodded his side ahead seven minutes in from Wayne Routledge's cross but Joe Garner headed the Iron level before the half was out and three minutes after the re-start he made it 2-1 with a well-taken finish.
The visitors were stunned but before they could regroup, Michael O'Connor (58) smashed one home to make it 3-1 and Mark Duffy added insult to injury with a fourth.

Swansea remain fourth in the table but moved to within a point of second-placed Norwich by crushing the Canaries 3-0 in the day's late game at the Liberty Stadium.
Fabio Borini (5) gave the home side an early lead courtesy of a superb free-kick, and Mark Gower added a second on 29 minutes. Tamas Priskin wrapped things up with a third in stoppage time.

Third-placed Cardiff also closed on Norwich as they put in a spirited display to win 3-1 at Doncaster with Jason Koumas coming off the bench to score twice at the death.
The Welsh outfit took the lead through Chris Burke despite Doncaster's bright start at the Keepmoat and it was no surprise when James Coppinger levelled 12 minutes from time.
However, midfield schemer Koumas was thrown on by Dave Jones and he repaid his manager with the 90th-minute winner and another four minutes into added time.

Leeds had the chance to move up a place from fifth for a few hours at least, but went down 3-2 away to Millwall.
James Henry (24') and Liam Trotter (30') put the Londoners 2-0 up. Luciano Becchio (51') reduced their lead but Steve Morison's 62nd-minute effort ensured Andy O'Brien's injury-time goal meant little.

A thriller at the City Ground saw sixth-placed Reading edge hosts Nottingham Forest 4-3.

Jimmy Kebe (62') then put Reading back in front only for Lewis McGugan's penalty to make it 3-3 with two minutes left.
However, Simon Church struck in stoppage-time to gift the Royals a massive win and even Shane Long's subsequent missed penalty made little difference.

At the bottom, Sheffield United remain headed for League One as they were beaten 2-1 at home to Middlesbrough.

Preston looked to be set to give their survival hopes a shot in the arm only to draw 1-1 with Portsmouth.

-----
Josh Carson's double condemned struggling Crystal Palace to a 2-1 loss away to Ipswich.
