Anthony Stokes is on a one-man bridge-rebuilding process with Celtic.

The Irish striker had frustrated his parent club, ultimately leading to the decision to loan him out to Hibernian. Stokes lined out for Hibs in Saturday's Scottish Cup final against none other than Rangers, Celtic's arch-rivals. https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/734022810549391360 And Celtic fans absolutely loved it. https://twitter.com/JohnHartson10/status/734024145068003329 https://twitter.com/MikeyMcGarahan/status/734022230900940801 https://twitter.com/CelticMindedcom/status/734022345912909828 https://twitter.com/Young_67/status/734022400988327937 https://twitter.com/1888_James/status/734024124780122112 https://twitter.com/ceevz94/status/734029215058800640 https://twitter.com/WalkerDom/status/734029079066910721 https://twitter.com/neillovat/status/734028672064212992 https://twitter.com/Clybo98/status/734028528291872769 https://twitter.com/Nohar_celtic/status/734028439649452032 https://twitter.com/Stuart_McRobbie/status/734022203419791363 Rangers turned things around, taking a 2-1 lead into the closing stages only for Stokes to strike again. He almost completed a remarkable hat-trick in stoppage time only to be denied by Wes Foderingham, but David Gray headed in the ensuing corner to hand Hibs their first cup win in more than a century. The praise for Stokes continued after the final whistle, following the incredible late turnaround. https://twitter.com/MichaelMcShane7/status/734051627787784192 https://twitter.com/LeeDonnelly90/status/734051623484395520 https://twitter.com/erinwilson164/status/734051556543320065
