Montrose FC forward, Martin Rennie, despite currently being injured, scored big time recently when his numbers came up on the Montrose Football Lucky Numbers, netting him an amazing £3,200
Run jointly by Montrose FC, Montrose Roselea JFC and Merpro AFC, the local community scheme, which gives participants 3 chances to win on each £1 ticket, has paid out almost £115,000 since it began back in 2008.
Martin, slightly shocked by his win said, “I couldn’t believe it when I first heard, it was a great surprise. It has come at a good time as I need a new laptop for college, but I am sure there will be enough left over for a wee holiday once things get back to normal.”
Scheme Promoter Stuart Robertson added, “We are always delighted to see big wins like Martins, as it highlights just how good the scheme is, both to those who play and to the local community. In the last 13 years we have raised over £145,000 to support local football and I would like to thank all those who continue to regularly buy our tickets.”
Martin is pictured receiving his bumper cheque from John Paton along with Montrose FC ticket agent Alan Pirie.

Sean Dillon celebrated his 150th appearance for Montrose FC recently by agreeing a 12 month contract extension, keeping him at the Club until the summer of 2023
Having made 346 appearances for Dundee United, Dillon arrived at Links Park in June 2017 as Manager Stewart Petrie’s first marquee signing.
The player/coach made an instant impact, leading the Gable Endies to League 2 title success in his first season, playing in all 36 fixtures, being named Ladbrokes League 2 Player of the Season, and making the SPFL Team of the Year.
As a mainstay in Petrie’s defence, the Dublin born defender went on to help the club reach their first ever Championship Promotion Play-Offs the following season, a feat that has been repeated in the previous two years.
Petrie said, “Sean continues to play an important part in the success we have enjoyed at Links Park in recent years. His experience and knowledge of the game, combined with his impeccable professionalism makes him a great asset both as a player and a coach.”
“We are delighted he remains committed to the Club and what we are striving to achieve.”
Sean received his trophy from Director Brian Petrie.
Montrose FC have signed experienced Raith Rovers striker James Keatings on loan until January, significantly strengthening Stewart Petrie’s attacking options.
The Glasgow born forward, who came through the Celtic youth academy, has played for St Johnstone, Hamilton Academical, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Dundee United and Inverness Caledonian Thistle, as well as representing his country at under-16, 17 and 19 level.
Having scored 65 goals in 245 games across Scotland’s top two divisions, James first tasted success in 2014, winning promotion to the Premier League with Hamilton, before winning the Championship with first Hearts in 2015, and again with Hibs in 2017.
In between his title wins, the 29 year old came off the bench at Hampden in 2016, making history with Hibs as they dramatically beat Rangers in added time to lift their first Scottish Cup in 114 years.
Despite a strong start this season, the Gable Endies have lacked attacking options thus far with Russell McLean moving on in the summer and Martin Rennie being side-lined through injury since the start of August.
Manager Stewart Petrie said, “James is a hugely experienced striker and I am delighted he has agreed to join us.
We have had to be patient in our search to strengthen the squad, but I am convinced it has been worth the wait and I am looking forward to working with him.”
