Stokes turns attention to Swedes

Irish striker Anthony Stokes believes Celtic’s opening day Scottish Premiership win over Ross County on Saturday has set them up nicely for Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier against Elfsborg.

The 25-year-old grabbed a double against the Staggies as the champions came back from conceding a second-minute goal to debutant Darren Maatsen.

Celtic lead Elfsborg 1-0 from the third qualifying round first-leg in Glasgow and the former Hibernian and Sunderland striker insists they are in good fettle as they look to progress into the play-offs in Sweden.
