Celtic's Stokes to miss Europa opener in Madrid

Celtic will be without Anthony Stokes for tomorrow night's Europa League group stage opener against Atletico Madrid.

The 23-year old striker injured his groin at training on Tuesday and is now in severe doubt of making the trip to Madrid for the Vicente Calderon Stadium clash.

It is understood that Stokes will remain in Scotland and have treatment so he can get up for Sunday's Glasgow Old Firm derby with Rangers at Ibrox.
