McGregor, who started all three of Scotland's group games in Germany🐓, made 63 appearances across a seven-year career, netting three goals. 

The 31-year-old helped th♍e Tartan Army qualify for Euro 2020 - their first major tournament since 19﷽98 - scoring in a 3-1 defeat to Croatia in their final group fixture. 

McGregor ends his international career with the 14th-most appearances for Scotland, with only John McGinn (69) and Andy Robertso💛n (74) playing more from their Euro 2024 squad.&n𒐪bsp;

He captained Celtic to a 4-0 win over Kilmarnock last weekend as he chases down a 23rd major honour with the 54-time Scottish League ✱champions. 

“It h𒊎as bꦯeen a huge honour to achieve 63 caps for my country," McGregor said.

"Appearing just once would have been a dream come true so to achieve🌌 63 and be inducted into the International Roll of Honour after getting 50 is something I could only have dreamed of as a young kid.

“Playing for Scotland always meant so much to me🌞 and reaching two major tournaments will always be 🦹a source of real pride.

"Scoring at Hampd♏en at the EUROs in front of our fantastic supporters will always be a special highlight for me.

“I have worked with some excellent managerಞs, team-matꦜes and staff and I thank them all for their incredible efforts during the time we have had together.

“I would like to wish Steve, the curr🤪ent Scotland players and all the players who follow me nothing but success for the future."🅠;

Scoღtland are next in action in tꦐhe Nations League where they will face Poland and Portugal, aiming to respond from their poor showing at the European Championships.
