GERS' GALLAGHER SENT TO BUDDIES
Rangers have offloaded 20-year-old striker Calum Gallagher to Championship rivals St Mirren.
The forward has signed a one-year contract in Paisley after joining on what his new clubs described as a "transfer arrangement".
Gallagher could now make his debut against his former club in the league opener at Ibrox on Friday night.
Gallagher had loan spells with Alloa and East Stirling before netting on his Rangers debut in a 2-0 League One victory over Dunfermline in March 2014.
He made five first-team appearances that season and scored five goals in 10 games on loan at Championship Cowdenbeath last term before making a further substitute appearance under Stuart McCall.
Saints boss Ian Murray told the club's official 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."
Gallagher added: "I'm really excited to get started. 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."
