graeme shinnie

Signed on Pre-contract agreement 25 Jan 2015, Graeme joined up in the summer of 2015 from Inverness Caley Thistle where he had played mainly as a full-back, and was immediately a regular contributor to the first team early season efforts. His combative and passionate displays in midfield lead to Shinnie's being appointed Club captain prior to the Cup Final in May 2017 and had his own song from the terracing "He's One of Our Own." On 7th May 2019, Graeme confirmed what people had been expecting and announce that, at the end of his contract that season, he would be leaving the Club to join Derby County. He was transferred to Wigan Athletic on 16th January 2022 on a two and a half year deal. On 5th january 2023 it was announced that Graeme had rejoined the Dons on loan until the end of the season at which time the Club opened negotiations with Wigan to sign hm permanently. However complications arose when Wigan ran into difficulties with HMRC. His return to Pittodrie on a three-year deal was officially confirmed on 28th June.
May 24th 2025 saw Graeme reaching his 300th appearance for the Dons in the Scottish Cup Final. He became the first Aberdeen Captin to lift the venerable trophy in 35 years after a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory over Celtic. As always, leading by example, Shinnie took and scored the first Dons' penalty.
