Cristian Montaño, born on 11 December 1991 (age 34), is a Colombian left-back whose senior career has taken him through the sturdier end of the British game. His early development was helped by loan football, with Notts County in 2011-12 the standout spell: four goals in 15 league appearances, still his most productive league season.
That run hinted at a player comfortable doing more than simply filling a defensive slot on the left. Montaño has since been used primarily as a left-back, bringing a direct, functional edge rather than much fuss. His career has been built on regular first-team work rather than noise.
By 2025-26 he was with Livingston, where he made one League Cup appearance and one Scottish Cup appearance. His market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Montaño’s career is a practical one: early loan minutes, a productive Notts County spell, and a long shift through senior football, latterly as a left-sided defender with Livingston.
