Graeme Shinnie is delighted to be back settled at Aberdeen after spending his summer wondering if Wigan would be wound up.
The 31-year-old sealed his third spell at Pittodrie this week after finally securing his early release from the English crisis club. But Shinnie, who starred on loan at Pittodrie last season, admits the uncertainty over parent club Wigan cast a hug shadow over his family holiday in the sun. HMRC were pushing for a winding up order against the club, who had been relegated to League One after a points deduction and delayed wages.
Local billionaire Mike Danson stepped in to save the day but Shinnie admitted: “It was tough. It was an amazing finish to the season with Aberdeen and then I went away on my holidays. It is a time away when I try to switch everything off and spend time with my kids and wife away from everything else. But everyday I had to be on the phone to see what was going on at the club.
