It's a sad day for me because I've always loved playing for my country and representing the Welsh people. I always feel enormous pride whenever I pull on a Wales shirt and will always cherish the memories. Now I've made this decision I'll be concentrating 100 per cent on doing the best I can for Celtic. Hopefully, this will allow me to really enjoy the final few years of my career.

The team was picked for the day, for this particular match.

People keep asking how long I will be staying around, but it's not something I can put a number on. Football has never been like that.

I hope my body holds up, I still have another 18 months left on my contract at Celtic and I have had a decent start with eight goals already in 10 games so I will just keep going.

To get 50 caps you have to go through highs and lows - and I certainly had a few - it has never been rosy but to be still here, as well as enjoying good times at Celtic is very pleasing.
