Dane Murray, born in Scotland on 26 June 2003 (age 23), is a towering 6ft 4in (1.93m) central defender at Celtic, where he wears squad number 47. He joined in January 2025 from Queen's Park, the club that has given the clearest shape to his senior career so far.

At Queen's Park, Murray got the first-team run that matters for a young centre-half. His 18 league appearances in 2024/25 remain the main block of senior football in his profile, and that spell carries more weight than a routine stepping-stone would.

Celtic brought him in midway through that season. Since then, he has won two Premiership titles, in 2024/25 and 2025/26, and has also been a runner-up in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Premiership. In 2026/27, he has made six league appearances, along with outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, Champions League qualifiers and Europa League, taking him to 13 Celtic appearances in all competitions.

So far, Murray’s career is built on his Queen's Park breakthrough and a developing role at Celtic. His current market value is listed at around £298,000 by Transfermarkt.
