Graeme Shinnie has been one of the success stories of this season for Inverness Caledonian Thistle. After missing much of last season with a stomach problem he has flourished since taking over from the injured Kenny Gillet and as Hislopsoffsideagain will reveal he is leading the way in the Player of the Year online poll at Caley Thistle Online.
Graeme, who made his Inverness debut in a league cup game against Annan Athletic in 2009, was loaned out to Highland league side Forres Mechanics in 2010 and was a standout there.
20 year old Graeme scored a dramatic first goal for the club with an injury time winner against Kilmarnock at the end of August and has continued his form into September.
The bigger picture shows that September was a pretty mediocre month for Caley Thistle, with one win and two defeats, but it was a good one for Graeme Shinnie, who is September's Player of the Month, according to the online votes.
Graeme was the team's man of the match in the games at home to Hearts and away to Dundee United. Over the three games Caley played, he was picked as one of the best three players by 53 out of 66 voters. Second placed man Gregory Tade, MOTM against Celtic, got 44 votes, with David Davis third.
Having also been Player of the Month for August, Graeme now has a huge lead at the top of the standings.
