In July 2014, Gallacher signed for Scottish Championship side Heart of Midlothian on a two-year deal.[7][8] On 10 August 2014, Gallacher made his first team debut coming on as a 67th-minute substitute at Ibrox Stadium in a league match against Rangers, replacing the injured Neil Alexander[9] in a 2–1 win.[10]

On 10 September 2015, Gallacher moved on loan to Forfar Athletic for a second time, joining on a short term deal.[11]
