Morrison 'can’t see anyone else scoring goals' except Robbie Keane

Former Republic of Ireland striker Clinton Morrison fears for our World Cup qualification hopes if Robbie Keane can't provide the goals.

The 52 European countries will be split into seven groups of six teams and two groups of five teams.

The winners of each group will qualify, while the eight best group runners-up will take part in a play-off in November 2017.

Morrision, who made 36 international appearances, is wary of the threat for Martin O'Neill's men.

He told Sky Sports News: “If Robbie Keane doesn’t produce and doesn’t score goals. I can’t see anyone else scoring goals.”

But on any opposing team coming to play against them in Dublin, Morrison believes Ireland can more than match any team.

He added: “It’s always difficult to play in Ireland. If Martin O’Neill can get the players right, we can beat anyone on our day and there’s a lot to play for.

“......we fancy England or Northern Ireland.”
