Andy Murray stays quiet about views

Tennis star Andy Murray will not make his views on Scottish independence known because he does not want a repeat of the furore that followed his comments about the England football team.

As one of Scotland’s highest-profile celebrities, were Murray to express his opinion ahead of the independence referendum, it would be a big story, even though as a resident of England he cannot vote.

He spends a lot more time in America these days than in Scotland, with Miami his base for pre-season training and other blocks during the year.

That’s why I always enjoy coming here and why I spend my off seasons training here and why I have made Miami my second home.”
