Montrose is a versatile youngster who can play in either central midfield or at right-back, but Robins boss Martin Allen may see him as an ideal temporary replacement for the injured David Bird.

Montrose is Allen's third new loan signing since taking over at Whaddon Road, with more expected to follow.
