Scott George Murray (born 26 May 1974 Aberdeen) is a Scottish footballer currently on loan at Cheltenham Town from Championship club Bristol City. He is a right winger.

Club career

He was signed by Bristol City from Aston Villa in December 1997 and was City's top scorer in the 2002-03 season.

He later joined Reading for £650,000 in June 2003, and was a first team regular for Alan Pardew. In March 2004, he rejoined Bristol City. Murray's return boosted City's form but they lost in that season's playoff final to Brighton & Hove Albion. He was made club captain during Brian Tinnion's spell as manager.

In the 2006-07 season, City were drawn against Premier League side Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. Murray scored a chip against Australian number one Mark Schwarzer to earn the "Robins" a 2-2 draw at Ashton Gate, however they eventually lost the tie on penalties in the replay.

A key player in City's promotion push despite a stress fracture to his fourth metatarsal bone restricting him to 37 appearances, he has signed a new one-year extension to his contract.

On 15 September, Murray became new Cheltenham Town manager Martin Allen's first signing on an emergency one month loan.

International

Murray has been capped by the Scotland B team after coming on as a substitute against Germany.
