To continue his development and provide regular first-team experience, Murray was loaned to Scottish Championship side, Queen’s Park for the 2024-2025 season.

Over the course of his loan spell, Murray amassed 20 appearances and an assist across all competitions.^[4]

In January 2025, Celtic exercised a recall clause, bringing Murray back to the club. This decision was influenced by squad dynamics, notably the anticipated loan departure of fellow defender Stephen Welsh to KV Mechelen.^[5]
