Celtic and Republic of Ireland striker Anthony Stokes has been sent forward for trial over an alleged attack on a man outside a Dublin nightclub.

Stokes is accused of headbutting 42-year old Anthony Bradley outside Buck Whaley's in Dublin City Centre on June 8th of last year.

He has yet to enter a plea.

Judge Michael Walsh today told Stokes he is to be returned for trial, with his next hearing at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court set for October 10th.

That would appear to rule Stokes out of selection for Euro 2016 qualifiers with Gibraltar and Germany later that week.
