Bologna host Hellas Verona on Sunday in a Serie A showdown live on BBC Alba, with Scottish players Lewis Ferguson and Kieron Bowie hoping to impress Scotland head coach Steve Clarke. Ferguson captains the home side but has seen limited playing time recently, while Bowie has started four matches for the league's bottom side without finding the net.

Ferguson remains a regular in Clarke's Scotland squad after starting their World Cup-clinching win over Denmark. Bowie, who joined Verona from Hibernian in January's record transfer, was left out of that squad but could force his way back with strong performances. The sides previously met this season with Bologna coming from behind to win 3-2.

Bologna enters the match in eighth position after three consecutive victories and still harbors ambitions of European qualification. They trail Juventus in sixth by eight points with 11 matches remaining. For Verona, the match represents another chance to climb off the foot of the table as they search for their first win in five games.
