Celtic chief Lawwell eager for Ledley, Stokes stay

Peter Lawwell is hoping both Joe Ledley and Anthony Stokes sign new deals with Celtic.

The Welsh midfielder and Irish striker are out of contract at the end of the season but Bhoys chief Lawwell is eager for them to put pen to new contracts in the coming weeks.

"With regards to Joe, I'd think there are a lot of positives that would be in his thinking come the end of the year. I hope both stay," he said.

Celtic have opened talks with Ledley and are still in negotiations regarding an agreement for Stokes.
