Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Maksim Kulikov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Nazar Kobzev steps up from the Volgar academy

- Player ratings Vladislav Adaev runs at them all day
- The dugout Vyacheslav Prokofiev faces the questions
- Squad No place for Kirill Porshunov in the new shape
