Rangers have offloaded the striker Calum Gallagher to their Championship rivals St Mirren. The 20-year-old has signed a one-year contract, joining on what his new club describe as a “transfer arrangement”.
Gallagher could now make his debut against his former club at Ibrox on Friday night. Previously he had loan spells with Alloa and East Stirling before scoring on his Rangers debut in a 2-0 League One victory over Dunfermline in March 2014.
“I’m really excited to get started,” he said. “I know it’s a big season for the club having dropped down a level and the main aim has to be to get us back up there as quick as we can.”
Gallagher made five first-team appearances for Rangers in the 2013-14 season and scored five goals in 10 games on loan at Cowdenbeath in the Championship last term before making a further substitute appearance for Rangers under the management of Stuart McCall.
Ian Murray, the Saints manager, told the club’s website: “He’s quick, he’s very direct, he likes to play on the shoulder and there’s no doubts he’s got the technical attributes to do quite well. We just need to make sure he’s ready and not shove him into the step up that he’s going to have to go and handle.
“Of course, he’s not trained with the players yet and he’s not integrated into the team at all but he’s certainly an option for us now on Friday night.”
