Morrison has previously played for England Under-19s but has now opted to represent the country of his grandparents.
"After having a chat with Alex McLeish I have chosen to play for Scotland," he said.
"I was born in England and I believe I could do a job for them, but it was a question of how long I wanted to wait.
"But I've got the chance to help Scotland now and I'm really looking forward to pulling on the shirt."
Morrison made his senior debut for Boro back in 2004 and is regarded as an important member of the club's first 11.
