You've got to have faith, says Morrison

CLINTON MORRISON has revealed Brian Kerr's faith and Roy Keane's rollickings are the reasons behind his remarkable run of form for the Republic of Ireland.

The Birmingham striker scored his fourth goal in his last six matches when he claimed the winner in a 1-0 Lansdowne Road friendly win over China on Tuesday.

His international form is in stark contrast to his club form, where he is struggling to win a first-team place under Blues manager Steve Bruce. He has even stalled on signing a new contract in the knowledge it could affect his international opportunities next season. However, he has the backing of manager Kerr and Manchester United midfielder Keane as he said: "It's that green jersey - it just brings the best out in me.
