Murray is the first Scottish footballer to come out as gay.
He is the first openly gay player in the men's professional ranks in Scotland in a long time.
The Lowland League player is following in the footsteps of the two referees.
Murray told the club's website that the weight of the world is no longer on him.
The guys at the club have been great. I have been blown away by the support I have received since coming out.
Murray attended his first pride event while on vacation.
He said that he had always been closeted about going to these things. It was great to be me and the vibe was great.
It isn't easy for men, especially football players, to deal with this.
Murray told people on his social media that he was gay.
Fashanu is the only openly gay player to play in Scotland's top tier after coming out as gay three years ago.
Jake Daniels made what Murray describes as his "amazing" decision in May, closely followed by the two Scottish referees, but there are no platforms that offer support to young gay male football players.
"Of course there are gay footballers in our game and I have had lots of players get in touch saying they have read my post and they can't believe how strong I am by doing this."
Football is a ball game for women. The men's game should aspire to be as diverse as they are.
The SFA can help other players by working with other leagues and partners.
The chairperson of Gala said that everyone at the club is behind the player.
He said that they were happy for him that he felt comfortable coming out. I am certain that Zander will get the support he deserves from all of the football family in Scotland.
