First of all you need to be clearer about what you are talking about. When you talk about a Russian Alpha I immediately thought of the double-hulled titanium submarine that Soviets built and put on sea trials in 1965. However this has no relation to the British SAS. So let's define what we are talking about:
The Alpha Group (also known as Spetsgruppa A) is a dedicated counter-terrorism unit that belongs to OSNAZ of the FSB (former KGB), or more specifically the "A" Directorate of the FSB Special Operations Center (TsSN). It is currently believed to consist of 700 persons, 400 assigned to the Moscow Detachment and the remaining 300 located in other cities in Russia (unverified).
From everything I can read most of the recruits for this counter-terrorism unit came from the old Soviet Spetsnaz or "special forces" units.
I would say that it would be a pretty fair fight between these two groups. The British might have a slight edge in that they have continued to hone their tactics every year.

Obviously the British SAS thy would slaughter the Russian Alpha and it wouldn't surprise me if the SAS trained the Russian Alpha

Nobody are as good as The SAS.Delta Force,Rangers,French Foreign Legion,Spertza,nobody equals the boys from Hereford.Even Storming Norman said the SAS were the best after Desert Storm.Who went into the desert to destroy the scud missiles while Delta Force were sunbathing and drinking their cokes in Kuwait?.

The SAS. Russia doesn't pay well. The food in a British prison would be an upgrade.
