Career

Born in New Stevenston, Murdoch played club football for Airdrieonians, Motherwell, Dundee and Dunfermline Athletic. He won the Scottish league championship with Motherwell in 1931–32, also being involved in four other top-three finishes and playing in two Scottish Cup finals (1931 and 1933) with the Steelmen; earlier he also had a role, though less prominent, in Airdrie's four consecutive runners-up positions, though was not involved in their Scottish Cup win in 1924.[2][3]

Murdoch made one appearance for Scotland in 1931 against Ireland.[2][4]
