Bowie seizing Scotland shot after World Cup disappointment
BBC Scotland speaks to Kieron Bowie after he scored his first goal for his country against North Macedonia.
Steve Clarke, the Scotland national team manager, embarked on a World Cup journey with a group of players on 19 May. Striker Kieron Bowie, who had scored for Hellas Verona heading for relegation from Serie A, was not selected for the squad. Following the team's impotence in the USA, scoring just one goal, Bowie expressed his disappointment but remained positive.
He spent time with his family and on a golf holiday in Portugal. Just a few days later, Bowie made his international debut for Scotland, starting in a new 3-4-1-2 formation alongside Oli McBurnie. Playing as a striker, Bowie showcased his skills, registering seven shots, four on target, five shots in the box, and 11 touches in the opposition box.
The 24-year-old Fifer was thrilled to be given a chance, stating that the new manager's trust in him and his playing style suited him well. Bowie emphasized the importance of his role in the new system and expressed his satisfaction with the process, describing it as a "process" and a "change" for the team.
