Aberdeen star Greg Stewart has paid tribute to departing skipper Graeme Shinnie after the Dons picked up three points in his final Pittodrie appearance.
Shinnie has agreed to join Derby this summer and put in an impressive performance as the Dons beat Hearts and Stewart admitted the players all wanted to get the win for the Scotland international.

Stewart also admitted that his future will “take care of itself” after he was persistent links with a move to Rangers and insists he is focused on helping the Dons secure third in the league.
“Coming into the game tonight, all I was thinking about was getting the three points,” Stewart told Aberdeen’s official website.

It was massive for Graeme as well. We all wanted to win for him. He has been a brilliant captain and a very influential player for this club over the past four years.
“I want to finish the season strong here. The summer will take care of itself. I just want to focus on getting that third place.”
Stewart scored the winner over the Jambos in last night’s win and look set to go into the final round of games level on points with Kilmarnock.

With Killie facing Rangers and the Dons facing Hibs on the final day, the Pittodrie side surely have the advantage in the race for Europa League football.
Stewart will almost certainly make his last appearance for the Dons against Hibs and it would be a great way for him to sign off by scoring the goal to secure third.
