Graeme Shinnie in Aberdeen trophy declaration as returning star looks to overcome lingering Pittodrie 'bugbear'

Graeme Shinnie sealed his return to Aberdeen and admits he’s desperate to take a trophy to Pittodrie at the second time of asking.

The former captain completed his loan from Wigan for the season last night along with midfielder Patrik Myslovic who comes in on a similar deal from MSK Zilina, although there is also an option to purchase come the summer. Shinnie, who won the Scottish Cup with Inverness, admitted it was a major frustration that after three finals he never lifted a cup with the Dons and is looking to try and do it this time around.

The 31-year-old is likely to make his debut at home to St Johnstone and can then look forward to next weekend’s League Cup semi-final clash with Rangers. The midfielder said: “I’m looking forward to trying to fight my way into the team because I haven’t played since before the World Cup break.
