Allan Russell (born December 13, 1980, in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional football player currently playing for Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premier League as a striker.
[edit] Career
Russell began his career in 1999 with Hamilton Academical, making nearly fifty league appearances over a four-year period. In 2003, Russell began a two-year spell with St. Mirren before moving to English side Macclesfield Town in early 2005. Russell's stay at Macclesfield lasted only a few months and he moved on to Mansfield Town at the start of the 2005-06 season.
A short spell with Forest Green followed before Russell's return to Scotland with Partick Thistle in January 2007. Russell began the 2007-08 season with Airdrie, where a December 2007 Player of the Month award and his goalscoring form - by February 2008 he had already scored more than any previous season - attracted interest from Scottish Premier League sides Kilmarnock and Dundee United.[1][2]
In May 2008, Russell was eventually signed by Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock signing a two-year deal.[3]
