Dane Murray, born on 26 June 2003 (age 22), is a Scottish central defender at Celtic, wearing squad number 47. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is an imposing defender, which is no bad starting point in his position.
His Celtic connection came early, but Queen's Park gave his senior career its clearest shape. In the 2024-25 league campaign he made 18 appearances for the Glasgow club, without scoring, and that one season remains the bulk of his first-team league football.
Murray returned to Celtic in January 2025 from Queen's Park and was part of the squad as Celtic won the 2024-25 Premiership. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
In 2025-26, he has made six league appearances for Celtic, along with one League Cup appearance, 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 scored once, that goal coming in the League Cup.
His form this season has been solid, though he has been out of the matchday squad in recent weeks. His last appearance came against Rangers on 1 March 2026 in a 2-2 draw.
Murray’s career so far is still a modest one: shaped mainly by Queen's Park, followed by a return to Celtic where he remains a squad defender trying to build regular senior football.
