Webster determined to silence sceptics

Rangers defender Andy Webster has vowed to shut out the sceptics as he bids to return from his latest injury setback. Webster finally looked set to kick-start his Rangers career after captaining Dundee United to Scottish Cup success and making a Scotland comeback during a season-long loan spell at Tannadice. The centre-back started for Rangers during several pre-season matches but a hamstring injury picked up on the club's trip to Australia has kept him out of all competitive action. It was the latest in a long line of injury blows to hit the former Hearts player, who has made just one first-team appearance for Rangers since joining the club from Wigan, initially on loan, in January 2007. Webster damaged knee ligaments during his first training session at Murray Park and his latest piece of bad luck has seen him written off again in some quarters. But Webster is determined to erase all negative thoughts and focus on his return to fitness after stepping up his recovery. He told the Rangers News: "It`s up to people how they judge me but nobody likes being injured or spending time on the sidelines. I`d much rather be playing in football matches than sitting watching them and not being involved. "It`s frustrating that that`s not the case at the moment but I`m just focusing on making sure I get myself right and ready to play again."
