Ian Murray (born 20 March 1981, in Edinburgh) is a professional Scottish footballer currently playing for Rangers in the Scottish Premier League.
His versatility has seen him deployed in a variety of rôles in his career, without really establishing a recognised position. He can play centre back, left back, right back, defensive midfielder and even as a striker. He is often used for his good man-marking skills.
He previously played for Hibernian, where he was also captain, before joining Rangers on a free transfer in the summer of 2005. His transfer to Rangers was the cause of much resentment amongst the Edinburgh side's supporters. Consequently, Murray's circumstances ensure he is roundly booed at both Tynecastle and Easter Road whenever he returns with Rangers to play in Edinburgh.
He has been capped six times by Scotland, although has either been substituted or deployed as a sub on each occasion.
On October 3, 2006 it was revealed that Murray had been suffering from reactive arthritis and was ruled out until early 2007. His return to the team against Motherwell was manager Paul Le Guen's last match in charge before leaving the club by mutual consent.
