Celtic also supports the move, believing that the 21-year-old will greatly benefit from regular first-team football, especially after his recent struggles with injuries. Now fully fit, Murray is seen as needing the kind of match experience that Queen’s Park can offer.

The deal is expected to be completed in time for Murray to potentially feature in Friday’s match against Livingston.

Murray, who participated in Celtic’s pre-season and signed a new contract last season, has been hindered in recent years by injuries that have stalled his progression into the first team.

Hopefully, this can give the once-highly-rated youngster the opportunity he needs to get his career back on track
