Morrison pushed Bolton defender Nicky Hunt to the ground inside the penalty area as players jostled for position prior to a Birmingham free kick.

Match referee Uriah Rennie, who missed the incident, subsequently revealed that he would not have shown Morrison a red card even if he had seen the incident, but video evidence could still ensure Morrison is hit with a retrospective punishment.

The FA handed Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney a three-match ban in similar circumstances over the Christmas period, but Rennie’s announcement could help the Irish striker avoid a suspension.
