Ian William Murray (born 20 March 1981) is a Scottish football player and coach, who was most recently the manager of Scottish Championship club Raith Rovers.
During his playing career, Murray represented Hibernian, Alloa Athletic (on loan), Rangers and Norwich City. He also played for Scotland in six full internationals between 2002 and 2006. His versatility meant that he was deployed in a variety of roles in his career, including centre back, full back and midfielder. Murray stated that he preferred to play at centre back or central midfield.[4]
Murray started his career with Hibs, and captained the club during the 2004–05 season. 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.[5] He was released by Rangers in August 2007 and signed for Norwich City, but fell out of favour there after a managerial change. He returned to Hibs in January 2008, and was made vice captain of the team in July 2009.[6]
Murray left Hibs in May 2012 and was appointed player/manager of Dumbarton later that year. After two and a half years in charge of Dumbarton, he was appointed manager of St Mirren on 22 May 2015.[7] He resigned from this position in December 2015.[8] After a spell coaching in Norway, Murray was appointed Airdrieonians manager in October 2018, where he would stay for four seasons. In May 2022, he was appointed manager of Raith Rovers. After 7th and 2nd place finishes in the Scottish Championship, he was sacked by Raith in August 2024.
