Career
Gallacher started his career with Rangers. He helped the Rangers under-19 team win league and Scottish Youth Cup doubles in the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons. He also travelled with the first team squad for a UEFA Cup tie against Hapoel Tel Aviv in February 2007 and involved in champions league squads against Stuttgart and Sevilla .[2] He was included in the first team squad on many occasions and was an unused substitute many times, including an Old Firm derby on 5 May 2007.[3] He joined Cowdenbeath, then in the Scottish Third Division on 1 September 2008.[4] In 2010, Gallacher signed a six-month loan deal with Forfar Athletic which was later extended until the end of the season.[5] Gallacher made his debut for Rangers in a 4–0 win over Albion Rovers.[6] In September 2013, Gallacher signed on loan for Airdrieonians.[7]
In July 2014, Gallacher signed for Scottish Championship side Heart of Midlothian on a two-year deal.[8][9] Gallacher made his first team debut on 10 August 2014, coming on as a 67th-minute substitute at Ibrox Stadium in a league match against Rangers, replacing the injured Neil Alexander[10] in a 2–1 win.[11]
On 10 September 2015, Gallacher moved on loan to Forfar Athletic for a second time, joining on a short term deal.[12]
On 14 January 2016, Gallacher signed a contract with Alloa until the end of the season, after leaving Hearts by mutual consent.[13] Gallagher signed a one-year deal with St Mirren in June 2016,[14] beginning the season as the Saints first-choice goalkeeper. After Jack Ross was appointed manager in October 2016, Gallacher was dropped in favour of Jamie Langfield, however, he returned to the starting line-up in mid-November, playing in St Mirren's 2–1 victory over Ayr United in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[15] Gallacher continued in goal for the side until January 2017, when an injury in training meant he was unavailable for selection.[16] Gallacher left Paisley on 25 January 2017 by mutual consent,[17] and he then signed with fellow Championship side Hibernian.[17][18] He left Hibs at the end of his short-term contract, in May 2017, [19] and joined Dumbarton on 23 June 2017.[20]
