Adam Montgomery's loan spell at Livingston from Celtic has been terminated after the defender suffered a complex calf injury. The injury is a recurrence of a previous issue and is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season. Celtic agreed to end the loan agreement, which was originally set to run until the season's end.
Livingston manager David Martindale praised the decision, describing it as a gesture of class and morals from Celtic. Martindale noted that the club was not obligated to end the deal and that it was signed off at chief executive level. The early termination has freed up crucial finances for Livingston, who are short of left-backs, and will enable them to sign a replacement. Martindale described the fee for the replacement as substantial for the club, and a player from Finland is now being pursued.
