Kieron Bowie Celtic inquiries follow Hellas Verona relegation
kieron bowie celtic inquiries have started after Hellas Verona’s relegation from Serie A, with the 23-year-old former Hibernian striker emerging as a target. Celtic have made preliminary inquiries, putting Bowie into the frame as they assess attacking options linked to that change in circumstances.
Bowie and Verona
The move is early, but it is specific. Celtic have not gone past preliminary inquiries, yet the timing matters because Bowie’s position has shifted after Hellas Verona went down from Serie A. That gives Celtic a chance to gauge whether a deal could be done before the market tightens.
Bowie is 23 and is identified as a former Hibernian striker. Those two details are enough to explain why he sits in Celtic’s orbit: he is a young forward with Scottish ties, and the relegation of Verona has opened the door to fresh transfer movement around him.
Scottish gossip circuit
This is part of a broader Scottish football gossip roundup, not a standalone transfer announcement. Celtic are also monitoring Astana midfielder Ivan Basic during the World Cup, while Dundee United are closing in on Northern Ireland defender Michael Forbes after his release by West Ham United.
Other names in the same round include Dundee United playmaker Julius Eskesen, who is attracting interest from Swedish top-flight club GAIS after making only three starts in his first season at Tannadice. Hearts head coach Derek McInnes is poised to join Rangers, and that has already narrowed the list of possible replacements.
Rangers and Hearts
If McInnes leaves for Rangers, Hearts are unlikely to turn to Falkirk manager John McGlynn or Dundee manager Steven Pressley. Rangers’ wishlist is led by Dundee defender Luke Graham once McInnes takes over. The noise around Bowie sits inside that wider market churn, where one move can quickly trigger several more.
For Celtic, the practical takeaway is simple: Bowie has entered their live assessment, and Verona’s relegation has made the conversation possible now rather than later. Any next step would have to move beyond inquiry, but for the moment the striker is in the frame while Celtic continue to scan the market.
