Russell, who had featured just five times for Dundee United's under-19 side in 2006–07, made his professional debut on 12 May 2007 in the 2–0 defeat at Falkirk, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute.
In August 2008, Russell moved on loan to Forfar Athletic until the end of the year,[1] scoring twice on his début. In January 2009, Russell made his first start for Dundee United in the Scottish Cup fourth round victory at East Stirlingshire, scoring a second-half penalty kick for his first United goal. Russell returned to Forfar on loan for the remainder of the season, agreeing a contract extension with United in April until May 2012.[2]
In September 2009, Russell played and scored in Dundee United's League Cup win against Ross County before undertaking a month's loan with Raith Rovers, which was subsequently extended until Boxing Day.[3] The deal was further extended until the end of the season, and Russell ended his time in Kirkcaldy in style, netting his first senior hat-trick in a final day 4–1 win over Ross County.[4] In April 2011, Russell scored a header, for Dundee United's second in a 3–2 at Ibrox in which David Goodwillie scored the winner in the 89th minute.[5] He also scored against Celtic that season, and broke into the United team.
In August 2007, Russell made his debut for Scotland under-19s, also appearing in the following match in April 2008 in a 5–1 win over Denmark.[6]
