Dane Murray, born on 26 June 2003 (age 22), is a Scottish central defender with Celtic. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he wears squad number 47 and is valued at around £298,000 by Transfermarkt.

His senior career was shaped first by Queen’s Park, where he made 18 league appearances in the 2024–25 season. It remains the clearest body of first-team football on his record so far, even if it was brief enough not to invite too much embroidery.

Murray joined Celtic from Queen’s Park in January 2025. Since then he has made 14 appearances in all competitions for the club, including seven in the league, three in the Scottish Cup and four in the Europa League during 2025–26. He has not scored for Celtic.

He has been part of Celtic squads that won the Premiership in 2024–25 and 2025–26, and also finished runners-up in the Scottish Cup and Premiership. At this stage, his career is still a compact one: Queen’s Park gave him his main senior platform, and Celtic is where he is now trying to turn that into something more substantial.

Murray's career path remained centred on Celtic. He joined as a trainee in 2019, spent part of 2024-25 on loan at Queen's Park, then returned to Celtic in January 2025 before taking on limited senior minutes in 2025-26.

The transfer history was developmental rather than disruptive: 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 was no listed permanent fee, and the Queen's Park spell looked like a short-term route to senior exposure before rejoining Celtic.
