Murray says ‘sorry’ to United fans
SIMON MURRAY has apologised to Dundee United fans over the way his move to Hibs became public.
Punters were raging after the striker was pictured on social media wearing a Hibs training top, only hours after the Tannadice side had been resigned to another season in the Championship.
Murray’s switch to Easter Road was officially announced on Tuesday, when the 25-year-old signed a two-year deal.
But the frontman admits he’s gutted not to be leaving with the Terrors back in the top flight and is sorry for the way his Edinburgh move transpired.
He said: “That picture was never meant to go public, especially when it did, and if it did upset some United fans I can only say I’m really sorry.
“The fans were still hurting because of Sunday’s result and here’s me in a picture smiling wearing another team’s colours, it wasn’t right. I knew going into the game it would be my last for United and because of that people will say it didn’t matter so much to me.
“I’m not like that and I was as disappointed as anyone we didn’t win. I was absolutely convinced we were going to do it and I thought I was going to get a goal to help us get up.
“In the end it was just a game too far for us. We gave it all we had but personally I felt knackered and I think the rest of the boys were as well.”
