Declan Gallagher, born on 13 February 1991 (age 35), is a Scottish central defender with an imposing 6ft 5in (1.96m) frame. His Celtic connection came early: he left the club in August 2011 for Clyde, without making the sort of breakthrough that tends to linger in the memory.
From there, Gallagher built his career the harder way. His most productive league season came with Dundee in 2013-14, when he scored four goals in 36 appearances – a useful return for a centre-half, and evidence of a player capable of making himself felt at both ends.
He is primarily associated here as a Livingston central defender, a role that suits the plain strengths of his game: size, defensive presence and experience. Transfermarkt currently values him at around £213,000.
Gallagher’s career has run from Celtic’s fringes to regular senior football elsewhere, with Clyde, Dundee and Livingston marking the main steps in that path. It has been a solid Scottish career, built without much ceremony.
