It means Morton will play in Hull’s FA Cup third round tie against Birmingham City tomorrow without serving his three-match ban.

After Morton made his full Champions League debut in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over AC Milan at the San Siro in December 2021, manager Jurgen Klopp said: “It was great to see the kid play. The football knowledge and football brain he showed tonight was very special.”He’s got a great football brain. If he goes to the gym and gets in shape, he’s going to be a football player!”
