LONDON: Celtic skipper Scott Brown announced his retirement from international football with Scotland for a second time on Monday.The midfielder, 32, won 55 caps for his country across two spells after reversing an initial decision to retire in August 2016. However, he has decided against making himself available for new Scotland manager Alex McLeish. “Given the demands which are increasing all the time in football and at this stage of my career, I wasn’t able to give both my club and country my best and I needed to focus purely on Celtic at this time.
