Hard to disagree with any of that, Bobby. And aye I remember that Scotland game well.
Another criticism of Russell I've heard throughout his whole career is that he's not vocal enough. I've always argued otherwise and you've backed up that view point there. I mind one game at Tannadice when I think it was Michael Hart and Dick Byrne were having a bit of a barney. Russell went over to them, said his piece and walked away. He got slated for this by some for not doing enough. I think some want him to be a full time baby sitter. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You don't need to spend the whole game screaming and shouting to be vocally adequate.
