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 is still shaped most clearly by Queen’s Park. In the 2024-25 league season he made 18 appearances, the spell that put proper first-team football on his record before Celtic moved for him.

Murray joined Celtic from Queen’s Park in January 2025. His involvement has been limited but tangible, with five Celtic appearances across the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Champions League qualifiers in 2026-27. During his time at the club, Celtic have won two Premiership titles, in 2024-25 and 2025-26.

For now, Murray’s career is a short one: Queen’s Park gave him regular senior football, Celtic gave him the step up. The next part is about turning that connection into more than occasional appearances.
