ANTHONY STOKES is back on the radar of Cardiff City.

The striker’s future at Celtic is in jeopardy after his Twitter rant before Sunday’s win at Inverness sparked a bitter response from boss Ronny Deila.

Stokes later apologised but the incident has done nothing to help his chances of getting back into Deila’s plans.

Cardiff looked at the hitman a year ago as boss Russell Slade sought attacking options in the January window.

With Stokes having a signed a new three-year deal in October 2013, the potential fee of £1.5million forced the Welsh outfit to look elsewhere.

But City could now land him for half that amount and Slade is in the market for a striker again as the Bluebirds try to fire themselves into Championship play-off contention.

Kenwyne Jones needs a recognised partner up front but former Celtic star Tony Watt is also a contender to fill the role after arriving on loan from Charlton until January.

The 21-year-old impressed on his debut against Burnley and said: “I wouldn’t have come if I didn’t have ambitions beyond the eight weeks. I want to cement a place here.”
