Ian Murray

Hibernian

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. He missed most of the 2003–04 season due to a knee injury. After returning from injury, he was made captain of Hibs in the 2004–05 season and formed a defensive partnership with Gary Caldwell.

Rangers

Murray joined Rangers on a Bosman free transfer in the summer of 2005, but injuries troubled him during his time at the club. It was eventually diagnosed that he was suffering from reactive arthritis. His return to the team against Motherwell was manager Paul Le Guen's last match in charge.

Norwich City

Murray signed for Norwich City following his release by Rangers in August 2007. He made his Norwich debut against Hull City two days later, but he had a difficult start to his Norwich career due to illness. 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. His health problems continued as he was ruled out of subsequent matches. Grant left the club in October 2007, and Murray failed to establish himself in the Norwich first team under new boss Glenn Roeder. In an interview given after his departure, Murray said of Roeder, "It was the first time in my life I felt like chucking it during a game, a…

Murray captained the Scotland Under-21 side. His debut for the full national team came as a substitute against Canada in October 2002, in a 3–1 win. 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. His only start for the national team was in a 1–0 home defeat against Belarus, during which Murray was substituted at half time. In total he has won six caps for Scotland. 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

At the age of 31, Murray moved into management when he was appointed Dumbarton manager in November 2012. His managerial debut was delayed due to bad weather postponing fixtures following his appointment. He finally made his bow on 17 December in a 3–1 defeat to Hamilton in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. Dumbarton's league results dramatically improved after Murray was appointed and he was voted First Division manager of the month for January 2013. He eventually led the Sons to safety from relegation, which was secured with a 3–2 win at Cowdenbeath. 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. He signed a new two-year contract with Dumbarton in May 2014. He did not register himself as a player for the 2014/15 season. He left the club to join St Mirren on 22 May 2015, having won 41 of his 108 games in charge.

St Mirren

Murray took over from Saints interim manager Gary Teale, and penned a two-year deal to manage the club. Despite Murray being appointed a day before the end of the 2014–15 season, Teale remained in charge for the final game. 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. Murray resigned on 12 December, after a 1–0 defeat against his former club Dumbarton.
