He gestured his fist looking for a fight to start and then ran at a group of Rangers fans.
Prosecutor John Bedford said: “Mr Boyce began to back off from the other Rangers fans.
“Morrison broke forward and punched Me Boyce once to the head.
“This punch rendered Mr Boyce unconscious causing him to immediately fall to the ground.”
Morrison then fled the scene, avoiding the police.
Officers noted that Mr Boyce was “unconscious for at least three to four minutes.”
He also had a wound above his right eyebrow and left ear which was bleeding as well as a cut to his eyelid.
Mr Boyce was taken to hospital where he was found to have suffered a total of nine injuries.
This included wounds to his head and eyes.
He also sustained a fractured eye socket and internal head injuries.
Morrison, of Sandyhills, went to a police station 12 days after the incident at the Scottish Cup semi-final on April 17 last year where he was noted to have a wound to his hand.
He pled guilty to assaulting Mr Boyce to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
Sentence and consideration of a football banning order was deferred until July by Sheriff Tom Hughes.
