Garry Parker calls on Anthony Stokes to replace Gary Hooper

Celtic coach Garry Parker challenges Anthony Stokes to fill the void left by Gary Hooper.

Celtic coach Garry Parker has called on Anthony Stokes to fill the void left by Gary Hooper at the Scottish club.

The Bhoys, who suffered a 2-1 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach in a pre-season friendly on Sunday, will be without the services of Hooper next season as he has joined Norwich City.

"It's up to him. He's there at the moment. Whether we bring someone in or not, I don't know," Parker told reporters at a press conference.

"We've got a few options so we will see what happens. It's up to Stokes to stake a claim."

Hooper scored 31 goals for Celtic last season.
