The 28-year-old Scot recently joined the club permanently from Doncaster following a successful loan spell and takes the armband from Hasney Aljofree. The former Kilmarnock man also skippered the Robins during his temporary stint at the end of the recent campaign and is hoping to lead them up the League One table. "It's a massive honour," the defender told the Swindon Advertiser. "When I came here on loan last season I captained the team for a few games. The manager has given me the captaincy and I'm delighted - it's a big honour and a great feeling. "At the tail end of last year we showed some really good form and if we can keep that going then we can get better. "We've got a good base to the squad at the moment, but the manager wants to bring in a few more and I'm sure there will be quality players who can bolster the squad and push us up the league."
