He signed for Rangers under freedom of contract in 2005, but he was troubled with injuries during his time at Ibrox club and was eventually diagnosed with a form of arthritis.

Born in Edinburgh, Murray made his debut for Hibernian against Dundee Utd on 22 January 2000 and he scored his first goal for the club in his second appearance, a 4–1 win against Dunfermline.

[10] Murray joined Rangers on a Bosman free transfer in the summer of 2005, but injuries troubled him during his time at the club.

He was substituted at half-time in a League Cup tie at Rochdale after a dreadful performance, with Norwich manager Peter Grant admitting afterwards that he should not have played Murray as the player was unwell.

[11] Grant left the club in October 2007, and Murray failed to establish himself in the Norwich first team under new boss Glenn Roeder.

[16] New manager John Hughes decided to give the armband to Chris Hogg, with Murray serving as vice captain.

[17] At the same time, he started coaching East of Scotland Football League club Coldstream on a part-time basis.

[20] The Daily Record newspaper commented that Murray showed leadership qualities which had been previously lacking in a struggling Hibs side.

He did not win another cap until two years later, when he came on at half time in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Moldova, which ended in a 1–1 draw.

[29] He admitted in October 2009 that his international career was over, after he was overlooked for selection by George Burley for a friendly match against Japan.

Dumbarton's league results dramatically improved after Murray was appointed and he was voted First Division manager of the month for January 2013.

[34] In his first full season in charge, Dumbarton finished just below the promotion play-off positions and reached the quarter-final of the 2013–14 Scottish Cup.

[37] In November, St Mirren replaced Mark Alexander Spalding with Alex Miller as assistant manager, in an attempt to turn around a bad start to the season.

[40] Murray would get Airdrie to 2nd in League One, and in the Championship play-off final in 2020–21 and 2021–22, but would fall at the last hurdle both times against Greenock Morton and Queen's Park respectively.
