Andrew Murray Shinnie (born 17 July 1989) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Birmingham City of the English Championship.
Shinnie started his professional career at Scottish Premier League side Rangers in 2006, but only made two league appearances in a five-year spell at the club. During his time at Rangers, he had two loan spells at Dundee: one during the 2008–09 season, and one in 2010, making 32 league appearances for the club. He joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle in July 2011, and made 57 league appearances in a two-year spell at the club, featuring in the 2012–13 PFA SPL Team of the Year, before joining Birmingham City in July 2013. He spent time on loan at Rotherham United in 2015–16, and then played on loan for Hibernian in 2016–17.
Shinnie played at under-19 level for Scotland on four occasions in 2007, before making three appearances for the under-21 side in 2009 and 2010. He made his full international debut for Scotland in November 2012, in a 2–1 win over Luxembourg.
Shinnie made his first team debut for Rangers on 17 March 2007, coming on as a substitute for Dado Pršo in a Scottish Premier League match against Aberdeen. On the same day he scored two goals for Rangers' under-19 team against St Mirren under-19s. In April, he scored the first goal in the 5–0 win over rivals Celtic as Rangers won the 2007 Scottish Youth Cup Final. He went on to sign a new three-year professional contract to expire in the summer of 2010.
