Brian Gallacher (born 8 September 1958 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former footballer[1] who played for Dumbarton, St Mirren, Kilmarnock, Partick Thistle, Albion Rovers and Inverness Caledonian.[2] [3]

It has been reported that Brian is related to the family of footballers beginning with Patsy Gallacher in the early 20th century, but this is inaccurate, although the family does include a male with the same forename and of similar age.[4] [5]
