Ace: Leaving made career
Former Aberdeen player Jamie McAllister claims he would never have earned an international recall had he stayed with the Pittodrie club.
Left-back McAllister, 30, now plies his trade for Bristol City and was a shock inclusion in Scotland's squad for the World Cup qualifier with Norway.
He told the Evening Express: "It is three years since my last call-up. It helps to be part of a successful side."
