Nights like Thursday against HJK make Wigan turmoil worth it with Shinnie just glad to be back where he belongs.
From a relegation, docked points, withheld wages and an uncertain future at Wigan. To leading out his boyhood club Aberdeen as Pittodrie skipper in a European group-stage tie. That was the reality for Shinnie on Thursday night as the Dons picked up a point in the Conference League against HJK Helsinki.
“The atmosphere against Helsinki was amazing and to lead the team out on a night like that is the reason that I came back. It’s certainly different to Wigan. But that’s football, it’s mad. “I’ve experienced some good Old Firm games and European qualifiers. But walking out to that was top class. The fans have been tremendous since I’ve been back.
Shinnie was a standout at Ibrox as Robson’s men cruised to a 3-1 victory against troubled Rangers a week ago. He feels he’s finding his best form again and says the win in Glasgow has changed the dynamic of the Dons dressing-room.
