Soccer-Dane Gravesen retires from international football

COPENHAGEN, Sept 15 - Denmark's Thomas Gravesen
has retired from international football, the Danish Football
Federation said on Friday.

Gravesen, who won 66 caps and scored five times for
Denmark, said he wanted to concentrate on his club football at
Scottish champions Celtic.

The combative 30-year-old joined the Glasgow side earlier
this month from Real Madrid in a 2 million pounds ($3.75
million) deal.

"I don't have the same drive I used to," the federation
quoted Gravesen as saying. "I think I should concentrate all my
strength with Celtic."
