Stokes bidding to impress Lennon

ANTHONY STOKES is hoping to make his Celtic debut against Hearts in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League this weekend with one instruction from manager Neil Lennon – to score goals.

Stokes signed a four-year contract with Celtic on transfer deadline day from Hearts’ rivals Hibernian in a reported £1.2million deal.

The 22-year-old, who scored twice against Hearts last season, is hoping to find the target in his first appearance for the Bhoys, if he can convince Lennon he should be selected ahead of his rivals for a forward place.
