Dane Murray, born on 26 June 2003 (age 23), is a Scottish central defender with Celtic. At an imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he has the frame for the job, though his career so far is still best understood through the spell that brought him to Celtic’s attention.

That spell was at Queen's Park. In 2024/25 he made 18 league appearances there, the senior run that gave his career its clearest shape before Celtic brought him in during January 2025.

At Celtic, Murray wears squad number 47. His time at the club has already included Premiership title wins in 2024/25 and 2025/26, along with runners-up finishes in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Premiership.

In 2026/27, he has made seven league appearances for Celtic, as well as one in the League Cup, three in the Scottish Cup, one in Champions League qualifying and three in the Europa League. That takes him to 15 Celtic appearances across all competitions.

His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt. Murray’s career is still a compact one: Queen's Park supplied the main body of senior football, and Celtic is now the stage for the next part.
