    EX-CELTIC star Anthony Stokes was nicked by armed cops after getting off a plane, it’s claimed.

    The ace, 31, was arrested on an outstanding warrant at London’s Gatwick Airport as he returned from a Dubai break.


    Stunned witnesses claimed he left the Emirates jet flanked by officers before the arrest.

    The striker — now with Iran’s Persepolis FC — was due to appear on Monday at Hamilton Sheriff Court.

    One passenger who was on Friday’s flight said: “I heard raised voices in the cabin and we were all told to stay in our seats for them to deal with someone on the plane.


    They asked for Mr Anthony C Stokes to come to the front of the plane with his luggage.

    “He was walked off and I later saw him and another man standing by the baggage belts.”

    A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an outstanding warrant.”


    Stokes, who played for the Hoops until 2016, earlier shared pictures with Instagram followers of his stay at the luxury Palm Jumeirah Dubai hotel.

    His club revealed they had no idea of his whereabouts after claiming he failed to return to training — and it was alleged he had blamed coronavirus.

    It comes weeks after the Irish frontman signed for Persepolis on a six-month deal.


    Amir Shafizadeh, who runs their Facebook page, said: “Stokes said he’s in Dubai as he didn’t join us since our last match.

    “He asked our coach for permission to stay two more days in Dubai because of his family.

    “Our coach agreed. We waited for him because he promised us he’d come to our training sessions.

    “He hasn’t returned to Tehran for two weeks.

    “After some days, he said he couldn’t come because of coronavirus.”

    Indian outfit ATK want to sign former Celtic and Hibs star Anthony Stokes, writes Scott Burns.

    The much-travelled Irishman is a free agent after leaving Iranian outfit Persepolis.

    Stokes is also wanted by Lowland League side East Kilbride but he’s unlikely to drop down to the fifth tier of Scottish football.

    Stokes has spent the last two years playing for four different clubs in Greece, Turkey and Iran.

    The 32-year-old moved to Greece with Apollon Smyrni in 2018 before spells at Tractor SC in Iran and Adana Demirspor in Turkey.

    He then returned to Iran with Persepolis.

    Stokes hasn’t played in Scotland since ending his third spell with Hibs in 2018.

    The most successful time in his career came in a six year spell at Celtic.

    Livingston want Anthony Stokes to replace Lyndon Dykes.

    The Lions are in the market for a new striker after selling Dykes to Queen’s Park Rangers in a £2 million club record deal this week.


    Livi have now made a move to land the former Republic of Ireland and Celtic star.

    The 32-year-old is a free agent after he returned from Iranian club Persepolis following the COVID-19 lockdown.


    Livingston are set to offer a one-year deal.


    If all goes well he could be available to make his debut away to Aberdeen on Sunday.


    Stokes has been much travelled in recent years after spells with Apollon Smyrni, Tractor and Adana Demirspor before he returned to Iran.

    The talented forward, however, has produced some of his best football in Scotland during his spells with Celtic, Falkirk and when helping Hibs to lift the Scottish Cup.

    Totally agree, and there is a lot more to his game than just scoring goals, he is very talented all round player.

    Just seen that picture on twitter but apparently it’s only Celtic players that aren’t allowed in pubs/restaurants.

    I was under the impression it was a Scot gov rule
