McCarthy says: you're in, Clin - January 19, 2000

As Bush takes the oath of office in America, Irish manager Mick McCarthy is preparing to inaugurate Clinton!

McCarthy confirmed yesterday that he will include Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison in his squad for next month's friendly against Denmark and that the youngster will definitely play some part in the game.

Morrison - 17 goals for Palace this season - qualifies for Ireland because of his Irish grandmother but is also being chased by England, Jamaica and Trinidad-Tobago.

McCarthy watched him score a cracking FA Cup goal against Sunderland the other night and said: "He played well and scored a good goal.

"I didn't go and talk to him after the match but I will be in touch with him very soon."
