Iain Russell
Iain Thomas Russell (born 14 November 1982) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a forward.
Russell came through the youth teams at Annan Athletic and Rangers before making a few appearances for Motherwell. Since leaving the Well, Russell has also played for Brechin City, Greenock Morton, Alloa Athletic and Stirling Albion (both loan spells), Livingston, Queen of the South, and Airdrieonians.
Russell was born in Dumfries and grew up nearby in Annan. Russell is the grandson of the former Airdrieonians, Rangers and Scotland internationalist, Ian McMillan.
Russell started his career at Rangers, although he did not feature for the first team, and first played in the first team for Motherwell and then Dumbarton. He played over 100 games for Dumbarton and was the club's player of the year in 2005.
Russell struggled with a hamstring injury throughout the opening period of his Brechin City career, but two goals against Stranraer on 28 October 2006 at Glebe Park saw him open his account. He was the season's top scorer with 15 goals to his name.
Russell was working his way through a quantity surveying degree at Glasgow Caledonian University whilst at Brechin. Since signing on full-time at Morton it has been put on hold. In February 2007, Russell signed a new contract with Brechin.
Russell left for Greenock Morton in August 2007 for an undisclosed fee (believed to be £40,000). He scored nine goals in all competitions in his first season with Morton, finishing two goals behind top goalscorer Peter Weatherson.
In September 2009, Russell was loaned out to Second Division side Alloa Athletic. After returning for Alloa, he was sent out on loan again, this time to the Wasps rivals Stirling Albion.
