Ex-Scotland skipper Petrie calls it a day

FORMER Scotland captain Jon Petrie will retire from rugby at the end of the season.

Flanker Petrie, 30, won 45 caps for Scotland and had a short stint as captain after Frank Hadden’s appointment as head coach in September 2005.

His tenure was ended by the serious shoulder injury which forced Petrie out of the 2005 autumn internationals. The Glasgow Warriors skipper made his Scotland debut against New Zealand in 2000 and is to leave rugby for a new career in the energy sector.
