Allan McGregor has decided to retire from international football.The 37-year-old Rangers goalkeeper announced the end of his Scotland career on the eve of manager Alex McLeish naming his first squad for the 2020 European Championship qualifiers.
2Thanks for everything, @therealgreegsy1 pic.twitter.com/9PCwzwqOAe— Scotland National Team (@ScotlandNT) March 11, 2019“This decision was an extremely hard one for me to make.“It is also the start of a new campaign and it feels like the right time to step aside and allow the number of strong options we have to push on from here between the sticks.“I would like to thank the manager and all of the coaching staff for their understanding – they’ve been incredible with me. It was Alex McLeish who handed me my international and club debuts, so it almost feels fitting to bring an end to my Scotland career with his support too.“I have so many brilliant memories, from my first time pulling on the jersey 12 years ago, to our most recent success in the UEFA Nations League. I would also like to thank the Scotland fans for all of their incredible support over the years.” McLeish paid tribute to McGregor and his numerous contributions to the Scotland team.“Time and again, he has proven himself to be a top performer for his country. His save late on against Israel was crucial in our UEFA Nations League success and it is fitting that he bows out on such a high.“We will miss his experience around the squad, but we respect that he does not feel able to continue to represent both his club and country and wish him all the best for the future.”The manager now faces a dilemma with previous first choice Craig Gordon playing understudy to Scott Bain at Celtic.
