Livingston are set to offer former Hibs striker Anthony Stokes a one-year deal, according to the Daily Record.

The West Lothian side are looking to bolster their attacking options after the sale of talismanic forward Lyndon Dykes to QPR earlier this week.

The 32-year-old has had a nomadic existence in football since leaving Celtic in 2016 following the expiration of his contract.

He has played for Blackburn Rovers, returned to Hibs for a third spell, had two spells in Iran with Tractor and Persepolis, and also featured for clubs in Cyprus and Turkey.

Stokes won four league titles and three cups during his time at Celtic, but is probably most fondly remembered for a loan spell from the Scottish champions back to Hibs in 2016, where he scored twice in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers to end the Easter Road side's 114-year wait for the trophy.
