Club career
Murray's footballing journey began by being scouted by Celtic as a six-year-old and steadily progressed through their youth academy. In June 2019, Murray signed his first professional contract with Celtic
Murray’s senior debut came on 20 July 2021, during a UEFA Champions League qualifier against FC Midtjylland. At just 18 years old, he was introduced as a substitute in the 1-1 draw. [2] Murray was entrusted with a starting position in the return leg on July 28, 2021, playing the full 120 minutes in a match that concluded with a 2-1 extra-time defeat for Celtic. [3]
To continue his development and provide regular first-team experience, Murray was loaned to Scottish Championship side, Queen’s Park for the 2024-2025 season. He made his debut for the club in August 2024 and quickly established himself as a key figure in their defense. Over the course of his loan spell, Murray amassed 20 appearances and an assist across all competitions. [4]
In January 2025, Celtic exercised a recall clause, bringing Murray back to the club. This decision was influenced by squad dynamics, notably the anticipated loan departure of fellow defender Stephen Welsh to KV Mechelen. [5]
On 26 October 2025, Murray had a poor performance against title rivals Hearts, scoring an own goal and conceding a penalty as a 3-1 victory saw Hearts go eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. This turned out to be Brendan Rodgers' final game in charge of Celtic. [6]
