James Morrison to lead West Brom until the end of the season | OneFootball

James Morrison will continue to be in charge of West Bromwich Albion until the end of the season according to reports.

The former Baggies player once again stepped up to oversee first team duties following the dismissal of Eric Ramsay last week.

Morrison was in charge of West Brom's 2-1 defeat away to Oxford United at the weekend but is expected to stay in the role until the end of the current campaign.

"I completely appreciate that it can’t have been easy being a fan this season – and I’m not going to ask them to do anything," Morrison said after being given the job until the end of the current campaign. 

"This is about us showing the fight and desire expected of a West Bromwich Albion team. Our fans will respond to that as they always do, with wholehearted, passionate support, that raises the roof of wherever we’re playing.

“I’m completely committed to getting us over the line, and I know from experience that when this club comes together in moments of adversity, it can achieve anything.”

The 39-year-old will have extra help with Matthew Gill now added to the coaching staff having previously served alongside Russell Martin at Rangers this season.

West Brom are currently 21st in the Championship, just one point ahead of Leicester City in the drop zone. Morrison will be hoping to get points on the board again when his side travel to face Sheffield United on Saturday.
