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

His senior career has been shaped mainly by Queen's Park. In 2024-2025 he made 18 league appearances there, the spell that gave him his clearest run of first-team football before Celtic came in.

Murray joined Celtic from Queen's Park in January 2025. His role has been limited but tangible: by 2026-2027 he had made 10 appearances across all competitions for the club, including four in the league, three in the Scottish Cup, one in the League Cup, one in Champions League qualifying and one in the Europa League. He has also been part of Celtic squads that won the Premiership in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.

His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt. For now, his career reads as a Queen's Park grounding followed by a move into the margins of the Celtic first-team picture.
