Ronny Deila has said that Anthony Stokes was "disrespectful" towards his teammates in the lead-up to Celtic's 3-1 victory at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Stokes took to Twitter to vent his frustrations after being left out of the matchday squad despite travelling to the Highlands.

"It is disrespectful for the boys," Deila told reporters. "We travel every week with 20 players and the manager puts out 11 and seven on the bench and there are always two left out.

"If that is harder for him than somebody else, then for me he is not a team player.

"What is important with Stokesy is that he has to show the work first before he speaks and if you do that then you always have a future. But so far he has been more about talking than performances."

The Ireland international has made just two appearances for the Bhoys this season.
