Anthony Stokes is on a one-man bridge-rebuilding process with Celtic.
The Irish striker had frustrated his parent club who publicly criticised the Hoops‘ treatment of him which ultimately led to the decision to loan him out to Hibs.
Stokes lined out for Hibs in Saturday’s Scottish Cup final against none other than Rangers, Celtic’s arch-rivals.
And surprise, surprise, it didn’t take long for the 27-year-old to make an impact as Stokes punished some woeful defending to give the Edinburgh club an early advantage.
And Celtic fans absolutely loved it.
Love @stoksey10 🍀
