Career

Rangers

Gallagher came through the Rangers youth system. He played for Alloa Athletic and East Stirlingshire on loan to gain first team experience. On 15 March 2014, Gallagher made his Rangers debut and scored in a 2–0 victory over Dunfermline Athletic. [1] He joined Cowdenbeath on loan in September 2014. [2]

St Mirren

Gallagher left Rangers in August 2015 and signed a one-year contract with St Mirren; [3] he scored his first goal for the Paisley side in a 3–2 defeat against Livingston in the Scottish League Cup on 25 August 2015. [4] He scored eight goals in 41 appearances for the club in his first season, and signed a one-year contract extension in May 2016. [5]

Dumbarton

Gallagher left St Mirren in January 2017, signing for Scottish Championship rivals Dumbarton on a short-term contract until the end of the season. [6] After making three starts and four substitute appearances, grabbing one assist, in May 2017 he extended his contract until the end of the 2017–18 season. [7] Whilst at the Sons, Gallagher scored his first career brace in a 3–2 Scottish Cup victory against Peterhead in January 2018. [8] After finishing as the club's top scorer with seven for the season as Dumbarton were relegated to Scottish League One, Gallagher signed a new one-year deal in June 2018. [9] In his third season at the club he again finished top scorer with 14 goals, the best return of his career to date.
