MILLWALL fans put a dampener on their League One playoff final triumph over Bradford by invading the pitch at the final whistle.

But the match winner was far from impressed as he watched on from the sidelines, telling Sky Sports: "The fans have ruined it for me at the moment.



"I can't celebrate. [But] it's fantastic to be back in the Championship. We'll have a good crack."

Morison wasn't the only person unimpressed, with Millwall boss Neil Harris looking furious as he angrily urged fans to clear off the pitch.
