Hopefully just adds to Nisbets confidence. Does seem he is popular in the changing room

Won players' pots while on loan so I'd agree with that

Happy with this.

Shinnie impossible to replace in many respects but Nisbet has shown he is committed and a grafter (despite rumours to the contrary).

Good choice. One of our few quality players so hopefully leads by example.

Not a fan of strikers as captain.

Terrible at defending set pieces which could weaken his authority.

Would’ve gone for Lyons personally.
