International Career
McNamara has 33 caps for Scotland and played at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Although he did not feature in the World Cup opener against Champions Brazil in Paris, his introduction from the bench in Scotland's second game against Norway in Bordeaux was seen as pivotal in levelling a one goal defecit. The game finished 1-1 thereby leaving Scotland with a chance of qualification to the knockout stages. Ultimately the efforts were futile as Morocco were victorious in St Etienne with a 3-0 score line in the final game and Norway managed to qualify from the group with a draw against Brazil.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
