Stokes bags brace at Inverness

Anthony Stokes' second-half double gave Celtic a 2-0 victory over 10-man Inverness in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

Caley midfielder Greg Tansey was controversially sent off by referee Stevie O'Reilly in the 36th minute following an aerial challenge with Georgios Samaras.

The advantage switched to the visitors and on the hour-mark with Stokes finished a fine move involving James Forrest and Gary Hooper before volleying in a clinching second in the 72nd minute to make it eight goals in eight games for the in-form Irishman.
