ALLAN McGREGOR has had a tidy-up operation on his knee which has been described as a total success and he should be fit to start next season.

 

The Rangers No1 has been strucxk down with an ankle problem since April 16 when he was injured at Celtic Park and he is currently recovering from that.

Some tidy-up surgery has been done and the prognosis is that the 26-year-old will be recovered by the start of next season.

 

He will continue to be treated for the ankle problem over the close season with a view to being ready for pre-season.

 

Meanwhile, luckless Andy Webster is to have a hernia operation today. He has been accompanied to England by club doctor Paul Jackson.

 

It has been one problem after another for Webster, who initially jpined Rangers on loan from Wigan Atheltic in January 2007 and has only played one competitive match since then.

 

He damaged his knee in his first training session which ruled him out for the rest of the 2006/07 season.Andy enjoyed his run out against Dumbarton

 

He then played in the friendly against LA Galaxy at Home Depot Center in California and took part in pre-season. Webster then made his Rangers debut against Gretna and scored on September 1.

 

However, he suffered an ankle injury in a closed door game against Ayr United and then he needed further knee surgery in October of last year.

 

Now this hernia problem is the latest setback for the Scotland defender who has played just five matches in the last two seasons.
