Johnny Russell named to Scotland’s Nations League roster

The Scotland National Team has once again selected SKC’s Johnny Russell for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches on Nov. 17 & 20. But the fiery winger won’t be leaving until after Sunday’s 2nd leg playoff match with Real Salt Lake.

After vowing to never turn down his country when they call, Russell will have a busy finish to his season. Scotland are in the midst of the Nations League group stage where they sit in 2nd place behind Isreal and ahead of Albania. Scotland are in a decent spot to catch Isreal and claim the top of group, which would mean promotion to League B.
