Scott Gallacher returns to the 'Loons'

Twenty six year old goalkeeper Scott Gallacher, who spent the 2010/11 season on loan to Forfar Athletic from Rangers, has returned to Station Park on an emergency temporary transfer from his current club Hearts.

Scott will be ‘between the sticks’ at Glebe Park this Saturday, the move giving Rab Douglas the time to recover from the groin problem which has plagued him, but certainly not affected his form in recent weeks.

Scott made 29 appearances for the ‘Loons’ in his previous spell at the club and during his eight year stint at Ibrox also spent time out on loan at Cowdenbeath and Airdrie.

The former Scotland Under 21 keeper  moved to Tynecastle at the start of last season, making three first team appearances, one of those in a 2-1 victory for the ‘Jam Tarts’ at Ibrox.

He will be with the Athies until the middle of next month.

Dick Campbell and all connected with Forfar Athletic are grateful to Craig Levein, Robbie Neilson and their colleagues at Tynecastle for facilitating the short term move.
