Cork City captain Gearóid Morrissey believes that the club’s current situation will provide a test of character for the players as they seek to avoid relegation.

The Rebel Army are bottom of the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, a point behind Finn Harps, going into this evening’s clash with St Patrick’s Athletic at Turner’s Cross. Morrissey has enjoyed good times with City before the current struggles but he feels that rising to the challenge will stand to the more experienced players.
