    McGeady doesn't expect trouble in Moscow but knows his every move on the pitch will be scrutinised as the critics wait for him to flop. He said: "People do seem to like to be negative in Scotland. I know people are saying, 'Oh, I wouldn't go to Russia' and 'that's not a place to live and play football'.

    "Some people have written it. Some have said it to my face. Some have said it behind my back, no doubt.

    "However, Russian football is strong and competitive.

    "They pay big money to attract top players and many of them will then move for a profit, some are sold for around £20m to the English Premier League.

    "How many players have left the SPL for that size of fee?

    "I'm not wanting to be disrespectful to the SPL but it is inferior to the Russian League.

    "I think going to Russia, to play for the biggest club in the country, will bring my game on, playing with technically gifted footballers.

    "But, hey, people will want to see me fail. People do want to see me fail. I need to prove them wrong. I'm very positive about it all."

    Spartak won 2-1 and McGeady assisted on the first goal with a great pass.

    Good to see him getting on well, he has got the talent to step up another level imo.

    How has he been received over in Russia so far?, I remember when Gary O'Conner went over and struggled with the lifestyle.

    I think that Aiden after 3-4 years will enhance any club from the English Big 4. But first he must become a leader in Spartak. In England watching of Spartak. Over the past few years we have sold in the EPL 5 players: Vidic (Manchester United), Pavlyuchenko (Tottenham), Kovac (West Ham), Jiránek (Birmingham) and Pletikosa (Totenhem).

    O'Conner actually helped talk him into the move apparently. There's been quite a lot of hype around him coming, it was an ongoing transfer saga and Spartak really needed a right midfielder.
