Dane Murray set for Celtic recall as impressive Queen's Park form threatens to spark transfer frenzy

Murray has thoroughly impressed for the Spiders and is likely to return to Celtic next month

Celtic are likely to recall Dane Murray from his loan at Queen’s Park next month.

The central defender has had an impressive spell with the Spiders in the first half of the season and his form is now attracting interest from the Scottish Premiership and sides in League One and Two in England. A number of clubs have already made contact with Celtic who are now looking at their options. They sent Murray out to get first-team games to prove he was over his recent injury problems, which effectively left him sidelined for two seasons.

The defender impressed Brendan Rodgers in pre-season and it was then agreed he should go out on loan to get more first-team experience. He headed to the Spiders and the 21-year-old more than passed that test with flying colours. His departure would be a major blow for Queen’s Park and their manager Callum Davidson, with his team currently fifth in the Championship and looking good for a promotion playoff push.
