Bowie seizing Scotland shot after World Cup disappointment
BBC Scotland speaks to Kieron Bowie after he scores his first goal for his country against North Macedonia.
On 19 May, Steve Clarke's Scotland squad ventured into a World Cup journey despite the team's poor form. Kieron Bowie, a prolific scorer for Hellas Verona, was left out - a choice that surprised many considering his consistent performance and dedication. After the tournament, Bowie reflected on his experience, expressing gratitude for the time spent with his family and a brief golf holiday in Portugal.
Unfortunately, Bowie's debut in the new 3-4-1-2 formation only lasted 13 minutes during a match against Switzerland, after Jack Hendry's red card. Despite this setback, Bowie's performance in Scotland's 2-0 victory over North Macedonia was remarkable. He recorded the most shots, the most on target, and the most shots in the box, showcasing his attacking prowess.
Bowie was elated with his role under the new manager, Sebastien Pocognoli, who he felt trusted him and appreciated his strengths. He noted that the new system and mindset were a fresh change, providing an opportunity for him to prove himself. Bowie, who had previously struggled for goals in lower leagues, felt he was "kicking into another gear" after moving to Serie A.
