Clinton Morrison has been released on bail following questioning by police. The Irish international was being questioned in relation to an incident involving drugs last Monday evening. The striker accepted a lift in a car, which was later found to have drugs in it when stopped by police.
Birmingham City today released a statement in regard to the incident: "Birmingham City Football Club is keen to clarify the circumstances surrounding an incident involving Clinton Morrison on Monday evening. The facts are that a car Clinton was travelling in was found to have drugs in it when it was stopped by police in a routine check. Clinton, who is unable to drive, had accepted a lift in good faith from someone he didn't know."
They went on to say: "Clinton is no way involved with drugs and realises accepting a lift from someone not known to him was the wrong thing to do and he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Blues boss Steve Bruce added: "Clinton obviously realises he has made an error of judgement but does not take or is involved in drugs in any way."
Morrison was released on bail after questioning and has been told by police that he is unlikely to face charges
