Speaking on , Morrison said: “He’s been outstanding. Huge credit must go toಌ Vieira because they’re working ever so well.

“He’s come through the academy, I speak to Dougie Freedman quite a lot and he told me he’d be a star, we ha𒈔ven’t brought in another left-back because he’s the one, and he did say to me he thinks he’ll play for Eng🌼land.

“I’ve watched him aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ lot this season and you see a lot of winger♑s, and they don’t get the better of him.

“I always knew his defending was brilliant, but I just thought can he go forward? He’s still working on that side of his game, but his link up with Wilfried Z꧒aha has been outstanding and he’s got huge potential.”
