Boyd quits Scotland under Burley
6:35pm Sunday 12th October 2008
Kris Boyd has confirmed he will not play for Scotland again while George Burley is manager.
The Rangers striker was an unused substitute in yesterday's goalless World Cup qualifier against Norway at Hampden.
Boyd told BBC Scotland that he has informed both Burley and Scottish Football Association chief executive Gordon Smith of his decision.
"I left a message on George Burley's phone last night and he hadn't got back to me," Boyd said.
"I didn't think just leaving a message was very professional, so I spoke with Gordon Smith and informed him of my decision."
But Boyd insisted he had not closed the door on his Scotland career completely, adding: "I will not be playing for George Burley again, but I hope to be back in a Scotland jersey again one day."
