Zander Murray has revealed his delight at being given the opportunity to lead Edinburgh's Pride parade march on Saturday.
Murray became Scotland's first-ever openly gay footballer when he came out last September. The striker currently plays for Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in Scottish League Two, making 12 appearances to help them escape relegation.
Since his historic coming out, Murray has become a powerful advocate for LGBT+ rights, frequently speaking out against hate towards the community. He has now been recognised for his work by the organisers behind Edinburgh Pride.
