Perspective
Scotland
Muir was a product of the Dunfermline Athletic youth system and secured a contract with the senior team in 2006.[1][2]
After failing to break into the senior team, he began his professional career in 2007 with his local club, East Fife, in the Scottish Second Division.[3] The following season, Muir re-signed with East Fife and made 36 appearances with 5 goals.[4][5] In his second Scottish Challenge Cup, he helped the club reach the quarterfinal round, and they were eliminated by Queen of the South.[6] Fife re-signed Muir for the 2011-12 season.[7] In the 2011–12 Scottish Challenge Cup, East Fife once again made the quarterfinal round, this time being eliminated by First Division side Falkirk.[8] Muir had a notable run with East Fife this time in the 2011–12 Scottish League Cup, where they reached the quarterfinals and were defeated by Premier League side Kilmarnock.[9][4]
Muir returned for his final campaign with Fife for the 2012-13 season and served as the team captain.[10][11][12] East Fife would finish the season in the relegation zone, and as a result, participated in the Second Division playoffs.[13] In the preliminary round of the relegation playoffs, he scored the equalizing goal against Berwick Rangers.[14] After winning the series against Berwick, Fife advanced to the finals, where Muir scored the winning goal against Peterhead that avoided relegation for Fife.[15][16][17] In his final league cup tournament, he started against Rangers, where East Fife was eliminated in the opening round.[18][4] Throughout his five-year tenure with East Fife, he also appeared in five editions of the Scottish Cup, where in total he appeared in 8 matches and recorded 1 goal.[4]

After avoiding relegation with East Fife, he left the club to play in the USL Premier Development League with the Canadian side Toronto Lynx.[10][19] In his debut season with Toronto, he appeared in 8 matches.[20] Muir would play the remainder of the 2013 season with SC Waterloo Region in the Canadian Soccer League.[21] He assisted Waterloo in securing a postseason berth by finishing fifth in the league's first division.[22] In the opening round of the post-season, Waterloo eliminated Brampton City United.[23] Their opponents in the following round were Toronto Croatia, and they defeated them to advance to the championship final.[22] Waterloo would defeat Kingston FC to secure the championship.[24]
His final season with Waterloo was in 2015.[25] In the playoff quarterfinal round, Waterloo defeated Toronto Atomic.[26] Waterloo qualified for the championship final by eliminating the Serbian White Eagles.[27] In the finals, they were defeated by Toronto Croatia.[28]
