Lee McCulloch has retired from international football, the Scottish Football Association have confirmed.
The Rangers midfielder spoke to George Burley after reports overnight claimed he would refuse to play for Scotland while Burley remained in charge.
The SFA revealed the Scotland manager had left the door open for the 30-year-old to change his mind.
The SFA revealed McCulloch had phoned Burley this afternoon to clarify his position.
An SFA spokesman told PA Sport: "Lee told George he has been considering his international future since around about the time of the Italy game.
"He wants to concentrate on club football and getting back to fitness and playing for his club.
"He assured the manager it was nothing personal.
"George thanked him for the call and said if there came a time when he wished to reconsider, he would be happy to speak to him."
