    My heart still wants him as cover for the left wing, but my mind says it's time for him to move on. :54:

    Fairly evident he's done here. Hope he gets a few games between now and January and bags us some dough.

    Was just about to come on then Johansen made it 2-0 and Ronny told Nesbitt to come on instead

    Obviously isn't pulling his weight in training or has given up on his Celtic career. Ronny wouldn't drop him for no reason. He looks out of shape.

    January can't come quick enough for everyone

    Think his days in the team are over...pity they moved him off the striker role the lad always had goals in him.

    Are the stories of him being a big fan of the pub true, because i've heard a lot of them.

    Something has obviously happened behind the scenes with Stokes that we have not heard about.

    His lack of game time is not purely on footballing reasons.

    Old mate from school who I haven't seen him in years met him the other week and says he was in a house with him and McGinn not so long ago with people from a certain pub with a few lads who are in the casual scene at Celtic

    “I can’t see one player here I haven’t had a confrontation with. But that’s good because a culture without confrontation is dead. A marriage without confrontation is dead.


    “If you have the same problems all the time then you have to give up. I accept everyone makes mistakes but I ask how much do you learn from mistakes?

    “If I have to have the same conversation with a player five times in five months then you give up. Those players are finished at Celtic because they can’t handle the way it is going.

    “If the others are improving then one man can’t afford to stand still. That player might have been good enough at one point but it won’t stay that way."

    I wonder who Ronny is talking about here :fear:

    Given that Deila has said that, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a player who isn't getting picked, but used to be a regular, who he is referring to. Stokes fits that description. Can't say for sure if it is Stokes though, but if his attitude stinks then he should be moved on.

    why else wouldn't he get in the team? Ronny hate Irish people?

    clear as day Stokes isn't doing enough, or not doing what is required of him.

    I would tend to think your probably right about that. When he doesn't even get a minute of game time against Raith Rovers in the League Cup then you have to think his days at Celtic are numbered. Could easily see him being sold in January if any decent bid comes in for him. Shame really as I always felt he was a good player to have in the squad.

    His career here is most definitely hanging on by a thread.

    Today would have been the perfect game for Stokes, even if he was a substitute and came on for 20 minutes towards the end. If anyone in our team is able to unlock a tight defence then it is him.

    We were crying out for some creativity in the second half.
