Max Murray (born 7 November 1935 in Falkirk) is a former Scottish football player.

Murray began his career at Queens Park before moving to Ibrox in 1955. His scoring debut came on the 13 August 1955 in a Scottish League Cup match against Falkirk which the club won 5-0. He had a very successful spell at Rangers, winning two League championships and finishing top scorer three times in a row. He amassed 121 goals in just 154 and on October 24, 1956 he scored Rangers' first ever goal in European competition, an equaliser in a European Cup first round match against OGC Nice at Ibrox, a match Rangers went on to win 2-1.^[1]

He left Rangers for England and West Bromwich but only lasted a season before he moved back to Scotland^[2] where he is currently engaged in the design and construction of a shrine of remembrance in memory of the great Scottish botanist William Saunders.
