Bowie: We Have To Start Believing
Assist hero Tegan Bowie details how a pre-match conversation with scorer Eilidh Adams' formed the Hibees' game-winning moment on Sunday evening.
Bowie described the home victory over Celtic as "huge" as Hibs move into second-place, above the visitors and Rangers, in the league table.
It was the winger's perfectly executed cross that allowed Adams to thrash in the decisive goal at Meadowbank inside the first half.
"Today I was up against a really tough opponent, Emma Lawton," Bowie admitted. "I knew it was going to be a battle.
"I’m just trying to trust myself. I know I have the pace to beat players, it is just about trying to put the ball in the right areas.
"Eilidh said to me before the game to ‘just put it on a plate’ for her. And that is what she done, she put it away in the back of the net."
The hard-fought victory sees Hibernian remain joint top of the ScottishPower Women's Premier League, alongside Glasgow City.
Elena Sadiku's side proved a stern test for the Hibees, but Bowie is very proud of Hibs' grit and determination that helped them to secure the crucial three points.
"We knew how hard it was coming into today. The team the are, the way they move the ball, we knew it would be a lot of running. But we know getting in front, we could hold off until til the end.
"We were poking for a second goal. But in the end, it was about clearing our lines and digging deep for the win.
"Grant is trying to drive that belief into us with the results we are getting. I think we have to start believing now. We are up there with the top teams.
"Once we find our feet, there is just no stopping us. The hunger in us to see out the game is always there. We are playing for the badge."
