Webster eyes fresh start

Rangers defender Andy Webster is hoping for an extended run in the first-team following a frustrating first six months at Ibrox.
The Scotland international finally made his debut during Saturday's 4-0 rout of Gretna despite joining the Gers - originally on loan from Wigan - back in January.
Webster was forced on to the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury during his first training session with his new team-mates, before being hit with a FIFA fine for cancelling his contract with former club Hearts "without just cause".
"Mentally, it has been extremely tough," he admitted.
"No-one sees the full extent of what exactly goes on, but it has been difficult.
"Hopefully that's all in the past now and I can look forward to playing football.
"Injuries like that don't happen to everyone, but that's what I've had to deal with and I need to get on with it.
"I wouldn't say this is my career starting again - that's a bit of a big statement to make - but it's a step in the right direction."
