Terrors take Webster from Gers

Webster, 27, almost joined United from Arbroath in 2001 but instead elected to go to Hearts, at that time managed by current Tannadice boss Craig Levein. A highly successful period at Tynecastle saw him capped 22 times by Scotland before moving to Wigan in 2006. A permanent transfer to Rangers in 2008 followed an initial loan period, but the stopper's first-team appearances have since been restricted due to injury. Webster, however, returned to the international scene in May, playing and scoring for Scotland B against Northern Ireland B. Levein was pleased to renew his relationship with Webster, saying: "Andy Webster is a player I know very well, having signed him for Hearts back in 2001. "He is a player I know can play at the highest level and I wasn't surprised to see him return to the international scene at the end of last season. "He now needs regular first-team football to build on this and this loan arrangement will benefit him and, of course, Dundee United. "For our part, he will further strengthen a very important area of the team and add to the options I have defensively. "For his part, it gives him an opportunity to gain regular first team football and get his career back on track after overcoming his injury problems."
