Former Scotland captain, Greig Laidlaw has announced his retirement from the international game effective immediately.

The scrum-half is second on Scotland’s all-time record points scorers and has won 76 caps for his country since making his debut in 2010.

Laidlaw says it was difficult decision to make and he felt that it was the right time to call it a day.

He says that he looks forward to watching Scotland’s matches and he will always show his support for the team.

Laidlaw made 37 Championship appearances, including making his maiden Test start at fly-half against Wales in Cardiff in 2012.

He first captained his country the following year, going on to lead Scotland 39 times, the most of any Scot.
