Former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher has backed Colin Montgomerie to make the Ryder Cup team this September.

"Nick will have alot of young guys and we need Colin's experience" said Gallagher. He adds " I think anywhere in the top 25 (in the world rankings) would get him in". Of the 10 players currently occupying the qualifying spots, only Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Miguel Angel Jimenez have made two or more appearances in the tournament. Monty, who has never lost a Ryder Cup singles match, is bidding to play in his ninth Ryder Cup.He is only 1.5 points behind the all time points record, help by European captain Nick Faldo.
