Graeme Shinnie (born 4 August 1991, age 34) is a Scottish defensive midfielder with a long Inverness CT connection. His best league return came there in 2013-14, when he scored three goals in 36 appearances – modest numbers, but useful enough from that area of the pitch.

His profile is a plain one: a Scottish midfielder whose known senior story here is tied to Inverness CT, with past first-team use and a reduced league role in the current season.

Shinnie’s transfer history is notable for low-fee movement: Inverness CT to Aberdeen on a free transfer, Aberdeen to Derby County on another free, then undisclosed-fee moves involving Wigan Athletic and Aberdeen. The January 2023 loan back to Aberdeen, followed by a permanent return, suggests Aberdeen remained the club most willing to restore him to a significant senior role.
