Jacobsen missed Saturday's meeting with South Africa after withdrawing from the squad for what were described as "personal reasons" and it is understood the 34-year-old has decided that his international career, which began with a tour of New Zealand in 2000, is over. Gray, meanwhile, faces a week of tests if he is to prove his fitness for the trip to Pittodrie on Saturday.
