Free-scoring Glynn Hurst, in particular, is said to be livid at the snub.
Notable names in the team include Scuthorpe's 39-year-old winger Peter Beagrie, Soccer AM favourite Lee Trundle and former Stags defender Adam Barrett.
The only hope of a tedious link towards the Magpies was Scunthorpe's Ian Baraclough being named in the XI, but the on-form veteran just missed the cut.
