Gallagher quipped that he had been doing that a lot over the last four years, but he is helping United to beat the odds. “I wanted to prove a lot of people wrong,” he said.
When I left St. Mirren, all I could hear was that I wasn’t good enough and that they had someone better than me in my place. My legs had gone, so it seemed that competing in the Championship was on par with me.
People have been telling me that my legs are gone since I was 29—I’m now 33—so I enjoy all of it because it motivates me! My legs are still gone after four years! I’m thrilled to have returned to the Premiership and be able to perform as well as I have.
“I realised that moving down the leagues wasn’t because I wasn’t good enough, but rather because I was moving closer to home and joining a major club like Dundee United.” I always had the sneaking suspicion that if we returned to the Premiership, I would prove everyone wrong.
Ross Docherty and Louis Moult will be given until the very last minute by United to demonstrate their fitness.
