Andy Webster has pulled out of the Scotland squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Lithuania and Liechtenstein due to a hamstring injury.[LNB] The defender enjoyed a successful loan spell at Dundee United last season but his Rangers career continues to be dogged by bad luck.[LNB]After completing pre-season, Webster has not featured in either of the club's opening SPL games and will miss tomorrow's visit of St Johnstone.[LNB]Rangers manager Walter Smith said: "I thought he was going to be fit last weekend but on the morning of the game he felt his hamstring again.[LNB]"I think it's a sciatic problem. He is not fit for this weekend and he has obviously had to pull out of the internationals.[LNB]"Hopefully that will settle down for obvious reasons of needing everyone available."[LNB]The 28-year-old has only made one appearance for Rangers since joining the club from Wigan, initially on loan, in January 2007.[LNB]"He completed pre-season training and played a couple of games in Australia but hasn't been able to train or play for maybe five weeks," Smith said.[LNB]"The longer it goes, the more time it takes him to get back."
