Calderwood said: "To keep progressing as a club, it is vital to hold on to players of Russell's calibre. But there can be problems, as we have encountered in the past when losing (Markus) Heikkinen and (Kevin) McNaughton. When there is interest in players from England, we cannot match the salaries on offer. We have a wage structure and must live within our budget. You must be prepared for the worst-case scenario if he did decide to leave, but at the moment we're a long way away from that. One of the first tasks is to re-sign Russell, but the priority at the moment is to sort out the new players to strengthen the squad for next season." | |||
