Dane Murray, born in Scotland on 26 June 2003 (age 23), is an imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m) central defender with Celtic, where he wears squad number 47.

His senior career has been shaped mainly by Queen's Park. In the 2024-25 season he made 18 league appearances there, giving him the run of football that still frames his career more than anything else.

Celtic took him from Queen's Park in January 2025. He has since been part of Celtic squads that won the Premiership in 2024-25 and 2025-26, though his own first-team involvement has remained limited and measured.

In 2026-27, Murray has made two league appearances for Celtic, along with one League Cup appearance, three in the Scottish Cup and one in Champions League qualifying. His Celtic total stands at seven appearances in all competitions. His market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Murray remains a Celtic player, but the main body of his senior football so far came at Queen's Park before his move back into a bigger and less forgiving first-team environment.
