Ross Callachan (born 4 September 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Ross County.

Club career[]

Raith Rovers[]

Callachan came through the youth system at Raith Rovers. He was promoted to the first team after agreeing a full-time contract with the club as a 16-year-old in June 2010.[1]

He spent much of the 2010–11 season in the reserves.[2] He did, however, make his first team league debut in the final match of the campaign, replacing teammate Iain Williamson as a 60th-minute substitute in a 3–0 defeat against Partick Thistle on 7 May 2011.[3][4]

His first game in the following 2011–12 season was in the second round of the Scottish League Cup. Raith Rovers recorded a convincing 4–1 victory over Montrose in this July 2011 fixture, with Callachan appearing as a second-half substitute.[5][6]

In March 2012 he joined Musselburgh Athletic on loan until the end of the season.[7]

Heart of Midlothian[]

On 31 August 2017, Callachan signed for Heart of Midlothian on a two-year deal, for an undisclosed transfer fee.[8][9]

St Johnstone[]

After one season at Hearts, Callachan signed for St Johnstone on a two-year deal before the closing of the Summer transfer window.[10] He scored his first goal for St. Johnstone on 29 September 2018 against his former club Hearts in a 2–1 defeat at Tynecastle.[11]

Loan to Dundee[]

Callachan joined Dundee on loan in January 2020 for the rest of the season.[12] After just a few weeks with Dundee however, Callachan suffered a leg fracture during a game against Partick Thistle that kept him out for the rest of the season.[13] In May, St Johnstone announced Callachan would be one of a few players to leave the club once his contract ended at the end of the month.[14]

Hamilton Academical[]

On 29 June 2020, Hamilton Academical's chairman confirmed that Callachan had signed for Accies.[15]

Ross County[]

Callachan signed a two-year contract with Ross County in June 2021.[16]
