"Lewis Ferguson and Kieron Bowie will both hope to impress Scotland head coach Steve Clarke when Bologna host Hellas Verona on Sunday, live on BBC Alba. Bologna captain Ferguson has only played three minutes in I Rossoblu's past three Serie A outings, left on the bench for wins over Udinese and Pisa."
"Ferguson has become a regular in Clarke's midfield and started November's exhilarating 4-2 win over Denmark as Scotland sealed their spot at this summer's World Cup. Bowie was left out of that squad, but has previously won two caps and could force his way back in with a strong finish to the season in Italy."
"Ferguson's side are eighth in Italy's top flight after three straight wins and still harbour ambitions of a European spot. They trail Juventus in sixth by eight points with 11 matches of the seasons remaining."
Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson and Verona forward Kieron Bowie will compete in Sunday's Serie A match, both hoping to catch Scotland head coach Steve Clarke's attention. Ferguson has struggled for minutes recently, appearing only three minutes across Bologna's last three league matches despite starting Europa League fixtures. Bowie, Hibernian's record sale, has started four consecutive matches for league-bottom Verona but remains goalless. Ferguson is an established Scotland midfielder who started the recent 4-2 victory over Denmark securing World Cup qualification. Bowie previously earned two caps and could force his way back into contention with strong performances. Bologna currently sits eighth, trailing sixth-place Juventus by eight points with 11 matches remaining.
