I can recall when Stokes destroyed Hibs for Celtic on our right side playing exactly in that effective role in a previous Scottish Cup final when Sparky played from the start with a hamstring injury that he'd not recovered from. We watched the same scenario in our successful cup final last season when he similarly 'ripped' into Rangers right flank with ease. I remember travelling to Hampden with family members and friends and saying that I hoped Stubbs would play him in that role and target Tavernier's position - he did exactly as I'd hoped and we all know the outcome!
Ditto re Commons or Stokesy Jim - I'd also prefer Commons but it looks like his loan signing is a 'no goer'!
