International Career
Freedman made his Scotland debut on 6 October 2001, in a crunch match against Latvia at Hampden Park, for a place at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The Scots won the match 2–1, with Freedman scoring the equalising goal in the process (a header past then Palace teammate, goalkeeper Aleksandrs Koliņko), after Andrejs Rubins (another Palace teammate at the time) had given the Latvians the lead. Despite this victory, Scotland failed to gain a place in the Finals, and manager Craig Brown resigned, being replaced by Berti Vogts.
He only got one more Scotland cap following Vogts' appointment, playing the first 45 minutes of Scotland's 5–0 defeat at the hands of France in a friendly.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
