Former Hearts player seals summer transfer as ex Jambos stars signs him up

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... A former Hearts star has linked up with an ex Jambo as he makes a summer transfer move. Ross County have been relegated to the Championship after a play off final defeat to Livingston last month and are rebuilding for life back in the second tier. They don't appear keen to dwell in that realm for too long though with a move for ex Scotland centre back Declan Gallagher, who was a regular for Dundee United in the Premiership last term. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad They have now moved to sign ex Hearts star Gary Mackay Steven on a one year deal. The attacker known for his skilful style of play returns to the club he featured for at academy level before heading south with Liverpool, having been with Kilmarnock in the 24/25 campaign. Former Hearts star signed by ex Jambo After time in Merseyside and briefly with Fulham in his youth, he returned to Scotland with Airdrie before making his name at Dundee United over a four year stretch. That earned a move to Celtic where he spent a couple of years before moving on to Aberdeen then New York City FC in the MLS. His spell at Hearts followed that, where he helped the club out of the Championship and made 64 appearances overall with eight goals and the same number of assists. Mackay-Steven has been signed by another former Hearts man in Don Cowie, remaining as County's boss after relegation, who said: 'Gary is another great addition to the group as he makes his return to the club. He offers us good experience in the wide area of the pitch and we are delighted he has chosen to head back up North for the next chapter of his career.' Cost of Premiership relegation Chief executive Steven Ferguson detailed to BBC Scotland how difficult relegation would be for Ross County. He said: "There's no excuses from anybody at Ross County – we fell short. But it's a collective we. It doesn't just fall on the manager, it doesn't just fall on the players, we need to look at the whole club and everybody that's involved and we need to take responsibility for it and we will do that. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "First and foremost we'll need to look at the playing squad and guys that are out of contract will need to be spoken to so they know exactly where they stand. We have underachieved this season and that's not something that happens too often. In my time at Ross County we've always managed to get to where we want to be. We'll look at it, honestly appraise it, see how we can pick the bones out of it and move forward. 'We aren't a big staff up here. Everybody feels it and it has a ripple effect. What we need to realise as well is that it's not just on the pitch. To not have any representation for this area has a real knock-on effect for everybody, not just the supporters, but the local business and the revenue that comes into the Highlands because of Premiership football."

Ex-Dundee United star Declan Gallagher hailed as 'fantastic addition' after finding new club
Former Dundee United star Declan Gallagher is back in the Championship after signing for Ross County. The nine-time Scotland international departed Tannadice at the end of last season following two successful years with the Tangerines. A leader in defence, Gallagher played a major role in the club's Championship title win before doing so again in their impressive fourth-placed Premiership finish last term. He signed off at United in style with a crucial equaliser against Aberdeen on the final day as the Tangerines finished ahead of the Dons. Now Gallagher is back in the Championship aiming for the fourth promotion of his career. On signing the defender, Ross County boss Don Cowie said: 'Declan joining us is a fantastic addition to the group. 'We have had a number of players depart and this marks the first step in rebuilding the squad. 'He brings a wealth of experience in the Scottish game and has recently won the Scottish Championship with Dundee United, which is ultimately our aim for this season.' Gallagher has signed a one-year deal with the Staggies.

Ross County complete the signing of ex-Dundee United defender Declan Gallagher
Ross County's first signing since being relegated to the Championship is experienced defender Declan Gallagher, who arrives on a one-year deal. The 34-year-old centre half, who has spent the last two years at Dundee United, has also played for Motherwell, Aberdeen, St Mirren and Livingston. Manager Don Cowie is thrilled to have secured the nine-times capped Scotland player for season 2025-26. He said: 'Declan joining us is a fantastic addition to the group. 'We have had a number of players depart and this marks the first step in rebuilding the squad. 'He brings a wealth of experience in the Scottish game and has recently won the Scottish Championship with Dundee United, which is ultimately our aim for this season.' The club say Gallagher will wear the number 31 jersey. Gallagher is the first incoming player to the Global Energy Stadium after a week of exits as contracts expiring led to eight moving on. Goalkeeper Logan Ross, defenders Connall Ewan, Ryan Leak and James Brown, midfielders Scott Allardice, Charlie Telfer and Josh Nisbet and forward Alex Samuel have all left the Staggies. On the coaching front, former County and Inverness boss John Robertson has been brought in as Cowie's assistant, with Carl Tremarco and Paul Cowie let go. County fans can expect a large squad turnover this summer as the Dingwall side prepare to make an instant return to the top-flight as they did in 2018-19.
