Former England captain Tony Adams has announced his retirement from international football.
The 34-year-old central defender, who has been plagued by injury in recent years, wants to concentrate on his career with Arsenal.
"I want to give the benefit of the time I have left in the game to Arsenal. I can't keep being cruel to them by playing for England then missing club games. It's not fair on them because they have been very good to me," said Adams.
"Even though neither (manager) Arsene Wenger nor anyone at Arsenal has said anything to me, I feel obligated towards them. I owe them some games."
Adams won the first of his 66 England caps against Spain in 1987 and scored five goals during his international career. He last captained England against Germany in October in the final international to be played at Wembley.
A hat-trick from Ally McCoist gave Rangers' old boys a resounding victory in the Auld Old Firm Challenge charity match at Ibrox yesterday.
The Celtic over-35s had taken an early lead through Alan McInally's headed opener but McCoist struck three times after Ray Wilkins had equalised. The match, which attracted over 50,000 people, was expected to raise £75,000 for Radio Clyde's Cash For Kids charity.
