Despite Anthony Stokes' double against Ross County, Celtic manager Neil Lennon revealed he is still looking to sign a replacement for Gary Hooper.

Lennon also felt his side should have had a penalty when Stokes appeared to be pushed in the back by Brian McLean. He said: "It's a clear penalty, it's in his back. The view the referee has is perfect so we're a bit miffed with that one." Celtic are back in action on Wednesday night in their Champions League third qualifier against Elfsborg in Sweden and Lennon said he hoped Georgios Samaras and Kelvin Wilson, who missed out today, to be fit for the match. Man of the match Kris Commons admitted the team's schedule at the moment was proving tough. "It's quite brutal," he said. "It's hard, but that's what we get paid to to do, so we have to get down and graft."
