Ross Muir (born Edinburgh, Scotland, 6 October 1995) is a Scottish professional snooker player. He is noted for being the only professional snooker player who regularly wears a glove on the bridge hand, Muir turned professional in 2013 after graduating from event two of the Q School, defeating David Morris 4–0 in the final round.
Muir had a very successful junior career, winning many titles including the prestigious televised Junior Pot Black at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield by defeating Jak Jones in the final, the under 14 section of the Lt. Col Walter Rowley OBE Junior Star of the Future, the Scottish National Championship, and captained the Scottish under 16's team to glory in the 2011 Home Internationals Series in Prestatyn, Wales which was the first time Scotland had won the title since 1993. Muir won a place on the main snooker tour for the 2013/2014 season after coming through event two of Q School, defeating David Morris 4–0 in the final round.
Muir's first match as a professional was a 5–1 loss against two-time world champion Mark Williams in qualifying for the 2013 Wuxi Classic. His first wins came in qualifying for the next event, the Australian Goldfields Open, by defeating James Cahill and Rod Lawler both 5–1, before losing 5–2 to Liam Highfield. At the Asian Tour event, the Zhangjiagang Open, he defeated world number seven Ding Junhui 4–3 in the last 32 by compiling a break of 80 in the final frame, before being whitewashed 4–0 by Da Hailin in the next round. Muir could not win a match in ranking event qualifying in the rest of the season until the final event, the World Championship, when he beat David Grace 10–6, but then lost 10–5 against Nigel Bond in the subsequent round. Muir finished his debut season on the main tour at world number 113.
