Scotland defender Andy Webster has finally moved to Rangers on a permanent basis, according to Wigan.
The 26-year-old has been on loan at Ibrox since January 2007, just five months after joining the Barclays Premier League club.
Webster made football transfer history when he was the first to use FIFA Article 17. That provided a mechanism for him to terminate his contract with Hearts in the third year of a four-year deal, with the proviso that he joined a club in a foreign federation and that 15 days' notice was given.
The case was eventually taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland in October 2007.
Webster made four appearances in the Barclays Premier League for Wigan before moving to Rangers on loan.
A succession of injuries has halted his progress and he underwent a hernia operation three weeks ago.

most of the players that come to scotland especialy from english clubs only come because they know they will earn good money easily,coz the scottish game is not in the same league as the english game.its alot slower and not as competative.most of scottish players cant survive in england they always come back to scotland.usualy to the club that sold them.
You will find Webster is actually a good player. Football isnt always about attacking, but to answer your question about attacking ability. All that smith will buy sign only a player to playalongside Boyd. No big bucks will be spent on an attacker.
when are rangers going to splash the cash on some decent attacking players instead of other clubs has beens or rejects?
