Gallacher made her senior debut aged 14 playing for Forfar Farmington.[1] In December 2016, she joined Hibernian,[1][2] where she became regarded as one of the Edinburgh club's most important players[3] and won five trophies: two Scottish Women's Cups and three SWPL Cups.[4]
In July 2022, Gallacher signed for Celtic. She won the Scottish Women's Cup in her first season with the Hoops, also scoring 16 league goals[5] as the team narrowly missed out on becoming Scottish Women's Premier League champions for what would have been the first time in their history. She was nominated for the SWPL Player of the Year (it was won by teammate Caitlin Hayes).[6] A year later, Gallacher's 90th-minute winning goal against former club Hibs clinched the 2023–24 SWPL title for Celtic on goal difference.[7]
Gallacher represented Scotland at youth levels up to the under-19 team.[2][8] She made her full international debut for Scotland on 22 September 2023, appearing as a substitute in a Nations League match against England.[8]
Gallacher mainly operates as a midfielder and is known for her versatility.[1]
Gallacher grew up in Dundee and attended Morgan Academy.[2] She later studied Sport and Exercise at Abertay University;[2] during her studies, she was a part of the university's Elite Athlete Development Programme.[2]
She is related to Scottish footballers Tommy Gallacher (granddaughter) and Kevin Gallacher (cousin once removed), as well as Ireland international Patsy Gallacher (great-granddaughter).[1][2][3]
