Stokes: Old Firm clash 'blown out of proportion'

Anthony Stokes insists Celtic's players do not need a police pep talk ahead of the Co-operative Insurance Cup final against Rangers at Hampden on March 20.

Following the recent controversial Old Firm Scottish Cup fifth-round replay at Parkhead which ended with three visiting players sent off and Hoops manager Neil Lennon and Ibrox assistant Ally McCoist having to be separated, both clubs were invited to a summit at the request of Strathclyde Police chief constable Stephen House.
