Harris celebrates his 100th Millwall goal
Neil Harris had another reason to celebrate this morning after his wife Claire gave birth to the couple's second child - a baby girl weighing in at 7lb 14oz - marking an extraordinary few days for the Millwall striker.

Harris finally his 100th goal for The Lions at the weekend against Carlisle United and promptly followed it up with his 101st as Willie Donachie's men ran out 2-0 winners, leaving them just five points off of the last play-off spot. And the manager was quick to praise his striker.

"Neil's been threatening to do that for a few weeks now. We played him more centrally in the second half and it's paid off for him.

"I'm delighted for Neil because he's been filling in all over the place and always puts in a fantastic effort. And once he scored his first he looked like he was really enjoying it

As for the Play-Offs, they've been in everyone's mind all season, even when we were in a terrible position. We've got a good run going now but we're just looking at Crewe next and we'll see what happens."

Providing he can get a good night's sleep, Harris should line up against The Railwaymen tomorrow night, but while Mother and Baby are said to be doing well, Dad was report to be a "bit knackered".
