Scout report
C. Montaño is a 34-year-old full-back at Livingston, rated 12.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 219th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (51.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Montaño.
Judged on this season alone, Montaño graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership, on 2 clean sheets and 3.377 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 40th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership. At 34 Montaño is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Livingston finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.6, Montaño carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 41, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
