Hibernian striker Anthony Stokes is unapologetic over reports he was involved in a nightclub fracas last month - insisting he had done nothing wrong.

Speaking publicly for the first time about the incident which occurred after Hibs' 2-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League defeat at Hamilton on September 13, Stokes admitted he had to be more careful in future.

But despite angering manager John Hughes by going out drinking after a loss and putting himself in a position to make front-page news, Stokes was adamant his behaviour was beyond reproach.

"There was nothing to that to be honest with you," said the 21-year-old, who was reportedly thrown out of the Edinburgh nightclub. "I don't think I actually did anything so I just think it was some idiot putting something in the paper."

Asked if he had learned not to put himself in such a compromising position in future, he said: "Of course, but I don't see what the situation was to be honest with you.

"I was out and I had one drink on the night out, so I don't see what the big deal was. If that's down south in London or anything like that, that doesn't get into the papers."
