Kenny Murray (born Scotland) is a Scottish rugby union coach. He is currently an assistant coach of Glasgow Warriors.[1]

He was previously the head coach of Cartha Queens Park [2] until 2008.

In 2008 he moved to Ayr Rugby Club as head coach. Under his leadership, in his first season 2008–09, Ayr won the Premier Division for the first time in its history.[3] They won the Scottish Cup in 2009–10 and again in 2010–11.

In the 2010–11 season Murray guided Ayr to the Quarter finals of the British and Irish Cup, so far the only Scottish side to get this far.[4]

In 2012–13 Ayr scooped a League and Cup double by winning the Premier Division and the Scottish Cup. They also won the Bill McLaren Shield and the RBS West Cup in that season.

He joined Glasgow Warriors in July 2013.[5]

In 2014 Murray was awarded the John MacPhail coaching scholarship to study New Zealand rugby coaching.[6]

In 2015 it was announced that Murray would study for the new UKCC Level 4 coach qualification at Edinburgh's Napier University.[7]
