ian1964 10,409 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 ANDY Webster has been added to George Burley's Scotland B squad for tomorrow's meeting with Northern Ireland. Andy Webster, ScotlandThe central defender has had a tough season in terms of first team football but has been a stand out for Tommy Wilson's reserve side and has been rewarded with a return to the international scene for the first time under Burley. Webster will join preparations with fellow Ger Stevie Naismith and former team mate Chris Burke as they get ready to welcome Northern Ireland to Broadwood Stadium for a 7.30pm kick off. It will be a welcome return to Scotland duty for a player whose last cap came back in March 2006 against Switzerland when Walter Smith selected him alongside current Rangers stars Davie Weir, Christian Dailly, Kenny Miller and Barry Ferguson for his 22nd appearance in an international shirt. Gers reserve coach Wilson, who will make do without Webster for today's trip to Inverness, believes Webster is due his chance after a season of hard work. He said: "Andy has been improving as the season has gone on, he has played well for us and is looking strong. "This call up is thoroughly deserved and it will be a good preparation for him should he get a recall to the first team before the end of the season." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 So he's not good enough to make the Rangers first team in front of Lee McCulloch (and presumably Christian Dailly) but he's good enough for a scotland call-up? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is ridiculous on all accounts. What about Burleys policy for not picking players who arent playing first team football. Webster hasnt kicked a ball in at least a year! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Bizarre. I don't know why he wasn't given the nod to face Hearts. If he's fit and match-fit, then surely he should be given a chance? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 In all honesty the game is a nonsense anyway. However, hopefully it will be of benefit to us for Webster to get another competitive game under his belt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've been waiting to see him in the first team all season. Baffling! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
