James Morrison: Wembley goal for Scotland was my biggest

Three years ago the Albion midfielder's stinging long-range effort proved too much for Joe Hart and sent the travelling Scots into delirium as they took an unlikely lead under the arch.

Former Baggies striker Rickie Lambert eventually won the rip-roaring friendly 3-2 with his first touch in international football, but for Morrison, nothing has come close to the emotions of that day.

"That feeling will be with me for the rest of my life," he said. "Even though Rickie Lambert killed me, it was a special moment. I don't think I've celebrated like that before. It was obviously a friendly and it was played in a great spirit.

"The last two were great occasions. This one's a qualifier so it's going to mean a lot more. The fans have missed it."

Scotland are taking on England at Wembley again tonight and Morrison is itching for another chance to face the Auld Enemy.

He has nearly 40 caps for Scotland, but he's not been playing for his country recently because boss Gordon Strachan says he needs more regular club football.

However, the 30-year-old started Sunday's match at Leicester and scored in the 2-1 win over the champions. "Hopefully the minutes for my club will put me in a good stead to get my place back," he said.

Strachan's position is under scrutiny after an inconsistent start to the World Cup qualifying campaign, but Morrison thinks he deserves more time.

"If you look where we were before we took over, he's taken us an inch away from qualifying for the Euros," said Morrison.

"We've had a little blip but he deserves an opportunity to get us out of it and turn us around because his football knowledge is one of the best I've seen and worked with.

"If we win, we're back in it and putting pressure on England."
