Celtic striker Anthony Stokes feels he still has a chance to prove his worth to the Republic of Ireland national team ahead of next summer's European Championships.
The 23-year old has not seen eye-to-eye with manager Giovanni Trapattoni since he withdrew from the squad in May because of exhaustion and after missing out on the two-legged play-off with Estonia hopes his opportunity has not passed.
"I don't see why the door should be shut on me," he said.
"If I keep scoring goals for Celtic, playing well and trying to improve my game I should have a chance.
"It's going to be tough to get in but hopefully it will come."
