Iain Thomas Russell (born 14 November 1982) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing as a forward for Airdrieonians.
Russell came through the youth teams at Annan Athletic and Rangers before making a few appearances for Motherwell. Since leaving Motherwell Russell has played for Dumbarton, Brechin City, Morton, Alloa Athletic and Queen of the South.
Born in Dumfries, Russell is the grandson of the former Airdrieonians, Rangers and Scotland internationalist, Ian McMillan. Russell was born in Dumfries and grew up nearby in Annan.
Russell started his career at Rangers, although he did not feature for the first team, and has played for Motherwell and Dumbarton.
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.
