Lucas Birnstingl

Goalkeeper Lucas Birnstingl has returned to Canada after his red card in the derby day defeat by Arbroath. Lucas was personally very upset by his performance in the defeat which not only included his sending off late in the match but which also saw the visitors goalkeeper ex Gable Endie David Crawford score with a wind assisted goal. Lucas who has had spells with Dundee, Clyde, Queen’s Park and Airdrie United has returned home to find a new club nearer his home. All at Links Park wish him the best in the future. In total Lucas made 4 + 1 substitute appearance during his short spell at Montrose.
