Dane Murray, born in Scotland on 26 June 2003 (age 22), is a tall central defender at 6ft 4in (1.93m). He wears squad number 47 at Celtic, where his role has been that of a developing first-team option rather than a fixed starter.

His early Celtic connection matters, but the senior shape of his career has been made far more plainly at Queen's Park. In the 2024-25 league season he made 18 appearances there, without scoring, and that remains the spell that has given his career most of its substance so far.

Murray returned to Celtic from Queen's Park in January 2025. He was part of the squad as Celtic won the 2024-25 Premiership, with Scottish Cup and Premiership runners-up finishes also on his record.

In 2025-26, he has made seven league appearances for Celtic, along with three in the Scottish Cup, one in Champions League qualifying and four in the Europa League. Across all competitions for Celtic, he has played 15 times and has not scored. His market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Murray’s career to this point is still a short one: early Celtic ties, a more meaningful senior run at Queen's Park, and a return to Celtic where he is trying to turn squad involvement into something more regular.

Dane Murray played a supporting role in Celtic's title-winning Premiership season, making seven league appearances, including four starts, without a goal, yellow card or red card. His wider workload was more notable across cups – three Scottish Cup appearances, one in Champions League qualifying and four in the Europa League – which pointed to a squad-centre-back role rather than a fixed place in the league XI.

Murray's rating range was compact, with a 6.84 season average, a high of 7.81 and a low of 6.44. That suggested broadly stable performances in limited minutes, without a sustained run strong enough to redefine his place in the side.

Murray's career path remained narrow and developmental. He joined Celtic as a trainee in 2019, had a loan spell at Queen's Park in 2024-25, then returned to Celtic in January 2025 before earning limited senior minutes the following season. At 22, his profile still read as an academy graduate trying to convert squad involvement into regular starts.

The transfer history was low-cost and low-risk: a trainee move to Celtic in 2019, a loan to Queen's Park in August 2024, and a return to Celtic in January 2025. There were no fees listed, and the pattern suggested Celtic used the loan to give Murray senior exposure before reintegrating him as defensive depth.
