Russell joined the Dons last month as Stephen Glass’ number two and has lost his role as a strikers coach with Gareth Southgate’s England due to the incident. Last night, a spokesperson for Aberdeen FC said they were aware of the incident and stood by the “deeply remorseful” former Hamilton and Kilmarnock forward. “Having taken everything into consideration, we feel Allan made a serious error of judgement but he took responsibility and has suffered the consequences. Golden boot-winning Tottenham striker Harry Kane also claimed Russell gave him an “edge” at the tournament with his coaching.
