ANTHONY Stokes is expected to appear in court today over an alleged assault of an Elvis impersonator.

The player is due to stand trial at Dublin's Circuit Criminal Court this morning.

The alleged incident happened in a nightclub on June 8 2013.

It comes a day after Stokes re-joined Hibernian on loan from Celtic until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old striker played for the Edinburgh side between 2009 and 2010, when his tally of 24 goals in 48 matches earned him a move to Parkhead.
