Born in Donegal in 1891 Patsy Gallacher is regarded as one of the most gifted footballers to ever wear the Celtic jersey.Nicknamed 'The Mighty Atom', he was signed by Willie Maley in October of 1911 and made his debut in a 3 -1 win over St. Mirren.

Despite his slight frame Patsy Gallacher was mad of stern stuff and refused to be bullied by bigger opponents. His footballing abilities were a revelation and he would terrorise opposing defenders with his cheeky skills, mazy runs and powerful shots.

Gallacher, who came to Scotland as a young child to escape desperate poverty, was a key factor in a hugely succesful Celtic side and played with the Hoops for 15 years winning the league six times and the Scottish cup four times.He played a total of 464 times for Celtic scoring 192 goals. He was capped at international level by both Eire and Northern Ireland.

After a fall out with Maley in 1926 Patsy Gallacher signed to Falkirk with whom he finished his career. Gallacher died in 1953
