Gary Holt insists Livingston could be the perfect platform for Anthony Stokes to revive his career – if he’s willing to graft.
Holt is candid about the club’s interest – revealed by Record Sport this week – in Stokes. And the Lions boss confirmed he’d love the opportunity to coach the former Celtic and Hibs hero.
Stokes, 32, is a free agent after leaving Iranian side Persepolis and could link up with friends Efe Ambrose and Marvin Bartley at Livi.
Holt said: “Anthony has a lot of quality and good traits I don’t think we currently have.
“You don’t play at the level he’s played at, win the things he’s won, without being a very good footballer. It is something we’ll explore and we’ll speak to Anthony and his representatives.
“I look at Anthony’s pedigree and think, ‘I could work with him’. But he’ll know he’s coming here to work. We place demands on individuals.
“If he buys into that and wants to be part of it, we have a good chance of getting something done. If not, I’ll shake his hand and say, ‘on you go, then’.”
