Lawrence, 31, was frozen out for four years before current head coach Bellamy named him in the squad for Wales’ upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and North Macedonia.
This is the first time the Rangers attacking midfielder has been involved since winning the most recent of his 23 caps in March 2021.
Asked why he had not featured, Lawrence said: “The manager [Page], if I’m being blatantly honest. He had his own way of doing things and I wasn’t to be a part of that – for what reason, you’d have to ask him. I asked that same question, he couldn’t give me it.
“I’m a pretty simple guy. When someone’s not honest with me, then I don’t have all the respect in the world for them. There were questions I asked that weren’t answered and that was the way it went.
“I don’t think I need to go into it completely. Let’s just say we didn’t see eye to eye in certain things. Regret on my behalf? Absolutely not. I did everything I could while I was here, while he was the manager.”
