Steven Murray

He then returned to former club Dundee United as assistant manager in July 1989. However he had a fall-out with then manager Jim McLean who Murray had played alongside in the 1968 League Cup Final. Murray left before the end of the year later winning a "substantial sum" in a court action.

In 1980, Murray began his managerial career with Forfar Athletic, but resigned one training session and three days later.

After retiring, Murray joined Dundee United in 1979 as a scout but after having acupuncture treatment was able to resume his playing career and made three league appearances, also appearing as a substitute in the Scottish League Cup Final that year.

He moved to Celtic in a £55,000 deal in May 1973 after a contractual disagreement. Murray won all three domestic competitions during his two years at Celtic Park, retiring due to a toe injury in early 1976.

In 1970, Murray became Aberdeen's record signing in a £50,000 deal, missing the 1970 Scottish Cup win due to being cup-tied but winning a solitary Scotland cap in 1971, ironically at Pittodrie. Following Martin Buchan's departure to Manchester United, Murray became captain.

Murray began his career in the early 1960s with Dundee, spending six years at Dens Park and picking up runners-up medals in both domestic competitions, making around 200 appearances in total.
