Gary Oliver, born on 14 July 1995 in Scotland, is a seasoned football striker currently making his mark with Falkirk. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and bearing a hefty weight of 11st 4lb (72kg), he is a formidable presence on the pitch. Renowned for his number 18 jersey, Oliver boasts an established career in Scottish football.
According to the latest statistics from Transfermarkt, Oliver's current market value is approximately £64k. His contract with Falkirk extends well into the future, with a little under a year left and is set to expire on 31 May 2026.
Oliver's professional journey began with Hearts in July 2013, where he first encountered the rigours of the Premiership in Scotland. His debut season 2013-2014 saw him making eight first-team league appearances, an effort followed by nine appearances and a goal in the subsequent season. The 2015-2016 season saw a dip in on-pitch action with a solitary league appearance.
A temporary diversion in his career came in the form of a loan move to Stenhousemuir in September 2014. His tenure with the League One team saw him clock up eleven appearances and two goals. With the completion of his loan, he returned to Hearts, demonstrating steadfast commitment across three seasons.
In a move that cemented Oliver's proclivity for change, he transferred to Queen of the South in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. His time in League One was well spent, with 28 first-team appearances and six impressive goals to his name.
Progressing further in his journey, Oliver transferred to Greenock Morton in the Championship in 2016. A fruitful two seasons with Greenock Morton saw him notch up a total of 49 appearances and nine goals.
Oliver's return to Queen of the South in 2019 was followed by another stint with Greenock Morton in August 2020. This time around, his batting average didn't falter, with statistics emulating his previous tenure.
Hitting the peak of his career, Oliver made a major leap to Falkirk in the Premiership in 2022. With 60 first-team appearances and nine goals across three seasons, his contribution to the team is undeniably significant. In the current 2025-2026 season, however, he has yet to make his debut league appearance.
Undeterred, the savvy striker demonstrated refined skills in the League Cup 2025-2026 and the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, coming onto the field as a substitute in these competitions for Falkirk.
