Graeme Shinnie

Graeme was the player to preview the Dundee game on Friday. The Dons Vice-Captain spoke about his new deal, his new team mate as well as the game on Friday:

“Signing the new deal felt like the right thing to do. It was the right thing for all parties concerned. There was a great squad when I arrived, hence the reason why I chose to come here in the first place. I knew the strength of the squad and the size of the club. Being here I have enjoyed it ever since I walked through the door for the first time. There is now a lot to look forward to.

“Ryan is a very good signing. Very good. He was coming through as a young boy at Inverness when I was there and you could see the massive potential in him when he started training with the first team. The more he was getting involved in the first team you could see he was getting more confident. He is still young, he is still learning the game but he has a massive future in the game.

“Everyone is looking forward to Friday. The three games before Christmas in the league were crucial for us. December was a hard month but the standard we played to in those final three games was very pleasing. It is now all about trying to carry that form on and win the game on Friday.

“Dundee will want to try and get over the result last week but we have to concentrate on what we want to do. We have to focus on putting in a high level of performance like we did in our last three league games. If we do that then we will be in good shape. Training has been good. We have a fresh face in Ryan which gave everyone a lift and brought a freshness to the dressing room.“
