Forward Johnny Russell is set for a return to Sporting Kansas City after helping the Scotland Men’s National Team earn promotion to League B of the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League.
Russell played 17 minutes in Scotland’s 4-0 win at Albania on Saturday and was an unused substitute today as Scotland defeated Israel 3-2 to clinch first place in Group 1 of UEFA Nations League C.
Russell will now fly from Glasgow, Scotland, to Kansas City ahead of Sporting KC’s Western Conference Championship series against the Portland Timbers. The first leg will take place at 6:30 p.m. CT Sunday at Providence Park in Portland, airing live on FS1, FOX Deportes, Sports Radio 810 WHB and ESPN Deportes KC 1480 AM.
