Dane Murray, born on 26 June 2003 (age 23), is a Scottish central defender with Celtic. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m), he wears squad number 47 and is valued at around £298,000 by Transfermarkt.

His senior career has been shaped most clearly by Queen's Park, where he made 18 league appearances in the 2024-2025 season before moving to Celtic in January 2025. That spell gave him regular football and remains the main body of his first-team experience.

At Celtic, Murray has been part of squads that won the Premiership in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. In 2026-2027, he has made four league appearances, along with outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, Champions League qualifiers and Europa League. Across all competitions for Celtic, he has 10 appearances.

Murray’s career so far is straightforward enough: regular football at Queen's Park, followed by a move to Celtic, where he remains a tall defensive option still building his senior record.
