Andrew "Andy" Murdoch (born 30 January 1995) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Greenock Morton. Murdoch has previously played for Rangers, Cowdenbeath and Queen of the South.
Murdoch joined Rangers from Paisley based Everton Boys Club after trials with Dundee United and Celtic.
In April 2013, he played and scored in a friendly match at Ibrox Stadium against Linfield. Just over two weeks later he made his competitive debut against East Stirlingshire as an 80th-minute substitute for Kyle Hutton on 27 April 2013.
Murdoch made only one appearance during the 2013–14 season, in a Scottish League One match against East Fife. Murdoch scored his first competitive goal on 20 February 2015 against Raith Rovers. A few days later Murdoch agreed a two-and-a-half-year extension with Rangers that was due to expire in May 2017. Murdoch won the Rangers' Young Player of the Year award in May 2015.
The arrival of new manager Mark Warburton saw his first-team opportunities limited. On 1 September 2015, Murdoch moved on loan to Cowdenbeath until January 2016. On 11 January 2016, Murdoch signed on loan to Queen of the South until the end of the 2015–16 season. Murdoch scored the only goal in a 1–0 win for Queens against Hibernian, which helped to extend Rangers' lead in the 2015–16 Scottish Championship.
