Glasgow footballer Zander Murray first male senior player in Scotland to come out as gay

A Glasgow footballer is the first male senior player in Scotland to come out as gay.

Zander Murray who plays for Lowland League side Gala Fairyden Rovers has oppened up on his sexuality after being backed by his teammates. The 30-year-old spent time at Airdrie and Motherwell during his younger playing days

The Glasgow-based striker says he wants to help other players who are struggling about opening up after knowing for years he was ‘different’ to pals. His announcement follows Scottish referees Craig Napier and Lloyd Wilson who came out in June this year.
