Jim Murphy has resigned from the shadow cabinet to focus on his campaign to become the next Scottish Labour leader.
Mr Murphy had been the shadow international development secretary since October of last year.
He is one of three candidates standing in the contest to replace Johann Lamont, who quit as leader of the Scottish Labour Party last month.
The MSPs Sarah Boyack and Neil Findlay are also standing in the contest. The winner will be named on 13 December.
Speaking to BBC 5Live's Pienaar's Politics programme, the East Renfrewshire MP said: "I want to dedicate myself full-time to changing Scotland and changing the Scottish Labour Party.
"It's difficult to do that and to serve in the Shadow Cabinet, and therefore after talking to Ed Miliband over the past couple of days I've decided to stand down from the shadow cabinet."
