Free transfer
The versatile 24-year-old, who was out of contract at Easter Road, finalised the free transfer today on his return from international duty with Scotland. The move represents the second time Rangers manager Alex McLeish has signed Murray, after taking him to Edinburgh in 1999 when in charge of Hibernian.
'Tremendous desire'
McLeish said: "I'm delighted to get him. He's got tremendous desire. If you've got that as a footballer you've got a right good chance. But to play for a club like Rangers there are extra demands - there's the mental side of it and there's the expectation levels to play at a high standard."
