Ray Montgomerie

Ray Montgomerie (born 17 April 1961) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a defender for Dumbarton, Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle.

Montgomerie started out playing with his local Scottish Junior club Saltcoats Victoria before signing for Newcastle United where he spent his formative years in the senior ranks from 1979 until 1981.

After returning to Scotland, Montgomerie signed for the Sons where he played right-back for seven seasons from 1981 until 1988, having scored 8 goals in 180 league appearances.

Montgomerie was proud to captain the club that won the 1997 Scottish Cup Final at Ibrox Stadium, as he was to become a great modern-day player with the East Ayrshire outfit, having a never-say-die spirit and enthusiasm that the Killie supporters loved to see.

In a poll conducted by Football Focus in 2005, Montgomerie was voted by the Killie fans as the club's all-time cult hero.
