The stark contrast isn’t lost on Graeme Shinnie. 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.
A matter of months ago, he wasn’t sure whether he’d even get back to Pittodrie. Previous club Wigan were a mess after relegation to League One.
Players weren’t getting paid in the midst of a takeover that eventually went through once Shinnie had returned to the Granite City.
