Career
Murray began his career at Queens Park before moving to Ibrox in 1955. His scoring debut came on the 13 August 1955 in a Scottish League Cup match against Falkirk which the club won 5-0. He had a very successful spell at Rangers, winning two League championships and finishing top scorer three times in a row. He amassed 121 goals in just 154 and on October 24, 1956 he scored Rangers' first ever goal in European competition, an equaliser in a European Cup first round match against OGC Nice at Ibrox, a match Rangers went on to win 2-1.[1]
He left Rangers for England and West Bromwich but only lasted a season before he moved back to Scotland.[2]
