Finn Russell (born 23 September 1992) is a Scottish rugby union player who can play stand-off or centre, and currently plays for Scottish side Glasgow Warriors. In 2014, he had what Scottish sportswriter Andy Newport called "a meteoric rise [that] saw the former Stirling County youngster blast his way into the national team in the space of six months."
In 2013, he was part of the John Macphail Scholarship, in which he spent 15 weeks in New Zealand's South Island, playing for local clubs in the Christchurch area, benefiting from the state-of-the art facilities and specialist coaching offered by the Canterbury Rugby Football Union international high performance unit.
He was selected to play for Ayr after the IRB Championship tournament, in which he helped them win the league and cup double in the 2012–13 season of the Scottish Premiership.
Russell, was first picked up by Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend in the summer of 2012, after impressing for Falkirk and the Scotland U20's in the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.
With Glasgow's top players away on international duty for the 2013 Six Nations Championship, Russell was named on the bench to face Zebre on the 10 February 2013 as part of the 2012–13 Pro12 season. He came on at the 56th minute to make his professional debut. During the 2013–14 Pro12 season, Russell made his first start at the club, starting at Inside Centre against the Newport Gwent Dragons at Scotstoun Stadium on 22 November 2013. Since then, Glasgow Warriors Head Coach Gregor Townsend, offered Russell a full-time contract with the club which began in the 2014–15 season.
