Hibs board meets to ponder Celtic’s move for striker Stokes

HIBERNIAN’S board of directors is to meet to discuss Celtic’s proposed move for Republic of Ireland striker Anthony Stokes.

Stokes heads a shortlist of strikers targeted by the Glasgow club, with Israeli international Itay Shechter also being considered, according to BBC Scotland. But it is believed Celtic will only move for the Hapoel Tel Aviv player if they miss out on Stokes.

Hibs would be looking for a fee in the region of £1m (€1.2m) to part with Stokes, their top scorer last season.
