Morrison may be forced into loan move

BASEL goal hero Clinton Morrison will ask Birmingham boss Steve Bruce for a loan move as he seeks the first-team football required to further his international ambitions.

Two goals in Ireland’s opening World Cup qualifiers against Cyprus and Switzerland have propelled Blues striker Morrison into the limelight.

Morrison is understandably hoping his performances will have come to the attention of Bruce, who recently strengthened his forward line with the capture of Dwight Yorke from Blackburn.
