And in the same article it states we haven''t paid a fee, dispite him having a yr left to run on his contract.

BBC carrying the story that Scottish International Ian Murray has signed on a 1 year deal and we''ve paid nowt for him! Seemingly he can play LB, CB, LM or CM. Solid although lacking flair reports suggest. Sounds like excellent cover for our mini injury crisis!

[Big Yellow 0]

Good news! Defensive cover/competition at last, and another southpaw too!

Looks a good signing to me!

I think the one year deal is because he had Reactive Athritus which can be a recurring thing.  Sounds quite nasty....

good news, as Grant says he is a good player who can play at left back or central midfield, 2 areas we''re short on depth

Seems a good, intellegent signing by Grant. Should enhance our squad strength greatly BUT I still want an out and out centre-back brought in.

[mbncfc 1]

He sounds most comfortable at centre-back, which was apparently the case at Hibs.

On paper (having not seen him play) this seems an excellent signing. Let''s see how it works out on grass.

Mint!

I bet he cost a mint (Murray, geddit??) Seriously, though, it''s good to see we have brought another able body in.

Hopefully will turn out to be a good signing but the "Reactive Arthritus" bit concerns me alittle.

[/quote]Did you do the update on this wikipedia page, CJF? Whoever did it was remarkably quick with their editing and it is quite professionally done. I don''t very often look at wikipedia as you cannot trust its information for accuracy. The whole trouble with wikipedia, of course, is that anybody can edit it. Which is ok until people decide they would like to lark around and have a laugh by making some fabricated, rogue entry. It can never be relied on 100% unfortunately.

...another Scot

[Michael Starr 519]

ex-Hibs and Scotland U21 captain. "No thrills professional versatile defender". Free transfer?

Well done Mr Grant and backroom staff... on paper, this could be a fantastic "swoop".

We still need at least another defender in however...

[ZLF 271]

Increased competition, cover and versatility for relatively little cost - should be at least a decent addition to the squad, but could be a scoop.  Dont know enough to be too excited but he seems to fit the bill. 

[One Flew Over... 33]

Looks like the oft used phrase "there were 11 captains on the pitch" could be coming true!

Russell - ex-Stoke captain

Shackell - current captain, Drury - ex captain

Murray - ex Hibs Captain

Surely Dublin has been captain somewhere?

no, if u change it incorrectly it gets edited back within no time at all, so it is quite reliable.

Hopefully te same goes for Murray [;)]

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,017]

Good bit of business by the club, youngish, international, and can play in a variety of positions. We will soon be bidding to play in the Scottish Prem!![:D] (For those of you with a thin skin, the final comment was made tongue in cheek)

[USA Canary 7]

Does anyone know what his shirt number will be?  If he gets the no 5 shirt it may mean we won''t be after another centre half... do you think?

[Norwich R Us 59]

On paper this looks a real decent transfer for us.

A little concern though... my housemate is a rangers fan and says he is unproven since a bad spell of injuries. This seems to reflect in the 1 year contract reportedly offered...

I was just wondering if anyone knows the immediate state of his fitness? Has he completed pre-season/had any match time yet? Would he be an option for saturday?

[Steve H 0]

Sounds like a good signing. 6ft, ex-captain, International standard and a CB!!!!

Might be able to provide the Leadership that we have lacked since Malky. Let''s face it of all the signings we''ve made since promotion only Dion has been able to provide any leadership and he''s not exactly got much left in the tank now.
