Former Scotland number eight Johnnie Beattie has retired from rugby with immediate effect.
The 38-year-old earned 38 caps for Scotland – 13 more than father John and 90 fewer than footballer sister Jen.
“That inevitable moment in every sportsperson’s career has arrived,” he wrote on Instagram.
“After 16 years of rugby life in Scotland and France, the time is right to retire from playing the sport I love professionally. ‘Le petit mort’ as they say in France.”
“Professional rugby has allowed me to meet and work with some incredible people, from all over the world,” Beattie added.
“The inspirational places, people, experiences, tournaments, supporters, anthems and matches were all a privilege to be part of, and I realise I have been very fortunate to live out my dreams practising and playing my sport.
“I look forward to applying cultural lessons learned in leadership, teamwork, respect and enjoyment as I move into new adventures.”
