Graeme Shinnie says he "could retire today and be a happy man" after achieving his dream of captaining Aberdeen to a historic Scottish Cup triumph.
On his 300th appearance for the club, 33-year-old Shinnie led the Pittodrie side to a stunning penalty shootout victory over treble-chasing Celtic.
The veteran midfielder captained Inverness Caledonian Thistle to Scottish Cup success 10 years ago and says his achievement a decade on "means everything".
"I haven't been afraid to say it, but this is what I've been desperate for," Shinnie told BBC Scotland in the immediate aftermath at Hampden.
