Biog

Former Campsie FC outside-right Michael Murray enjoyed a brief spell with Celtic reserves in 1890 before returning to the club in May 1892 from Glasgow Hibernian.

He made his first team competitive debut in a 4-3 league victory over Renton at Parkhead on August 20th 1892. He made just one further appearance for the first team before joining Abercorn in August 1893.

He played against Celtic in a 4-3 win on 11 Feb 1893 for Abercorn. The Abercron fans were going wild having won the game until Johnny Madden quipped: "The way you're going on, you'd think you'd won the Cup!". The mood apparently turned ugly, Johnny Campbell knokced a spectator's tooth out and Jerry Reynolds was arrested for the same assault. Not known what Mick did!

Mick later became a successful publican in Lennoxtown & Kilsyth.
