Murray Davidson (born 7 March 1988 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish footballer, currently playing for St Johnstone. He has previously played for Livingston and Cowdenbeath.
He has played once for Scotland, in 2012.
Born in Edinburgh, Davidson grew up in the small Borders town of Innerleithen where he played for the local sports club Leithen Vale, in the same team as Ross Campbell, who would go on to represent Hibernian and Dunfermline Athletic, and Steven Notman, who was to play for Hibernian and Berwick Rangers. The team was the most successful in the sports club's history, winning countless trophies both at home and abroad, and a number of the boys, including Davidson, went on to play at a higher level.
After appearing for Leithen Vale, Davidson started his senior career with Livingston. In the 2006–07 season, he made his debut against his future club, St Johnstone, coming on as a substitute for Graham Dorrans in the 85th minute, in a 2–1 win and would make one more appearance that season. Shortly after making his Livingston debut, in January 2007, Davidson moved on loan to Scottish Third Division club Cowdenbeath. He later spoke about how the move had helped him in his career.
The following season, Davidson made six appearances, and scored his first career goal – again against St Johnstone– in the final game of the season, in a 5–2 loss. However, during the season, Davidson was sent off twice; first was in a game against Dundee for receiving a second yellow card on 11 March 2008 and the second came in his next match, against Greenock Morton for serious foul play in the last minutes. At the end of the 2007–08 season, Davidson signed a two-year deal with the club.
