He said: &#8220;No, I think naturally, again with the window being open, that&#8217;s speculation that will always be there.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;It&#8217;s a sign of the football club doing well, it&#8217;s a sign that your players are playing well, your teammates, that it helps you get into these positions.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Bowie has put in impressive performances this season, scoring eight goals in 27 matches for the Edinburgh side. Since joining Hibs from Fulham in 2024, he has made a total of 49 appearances for the club, netting 14 goals in the process.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Despite his commendable performances, he has yet to make a senior debut for Scotland, although he was called up by Steve Clarke. Having scored three times in 11 outings for Scot Gemmell&#8217;s U21 set-up, Bowie continues to show immense potential.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He further added, &#8220;And for any player that gets speculation around them, there&#8217;s nothing you can do about that. It means you&#8217;re doing something right.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I think that&#8217;s something that&#8217;s great to have, as long as you remember why that&#8217;s come. It&#8217;s come because you&#8217;re playing well, you&#8217;re working hard, you&#8217;re part of a successful team.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;And I don&#8217;t expect that speculation to go away.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier on Friday, The Herald reported that Danny Rohl&#8217;s side has asked the forward&#8217;s representatives to keep themselves&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-685926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115868785983973580","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
