Joking....Funny stuff!!!!

 

JOEY BARTON’S Rangers career could be in doubt after the veteran was banished from Rangers training after going head-to-head in the changing rooms with manager Mark Warburton.

 

Record Sport understands Barton was ordered off the premises by Warburton after the two clashed at the end of a blazing row between the notorious bad boy and a number of his team mates, following Saturday’s Old Firm thrashing at Celtic Park.

 

Barton has not been back at the club’s training complex since Tuesday and is not expected to return until next week - after Warburton’s side have taken on Ross County without him at Ibrox on Saturday.

It’s understood Barton was at the centre of a furious argument with a number of his team-mates inside the first-team changing room on Tuesday morning.

 

And that, as tempers frayed, Warburton attempted to intervene - and ended up arguing furiously with the Scouser as stunned team-mates looked on.

 

One source told us last night: “Barton has never been the type of guy who holds back when he has something to say.

“He told some home truths inside that dressing room and not all of the boys reacted well to what was being said. One of them pointed out to Joey that they hardly lost a game last season and had been doing fine without him.

“Barton responded by saying they were playing against s*** teams in a s*** league. But he lost the plot when one of the boys said they managed to beat Celtic last season without him too - and that he hardly got a kick against them at the weekend.

“It was all getting very heated but when Warburton tried to calm it down Barton went head-to-head with him too. He left the manager with very little choice and it’s difficult to see how he can come back from this now.

 

“Barton has not been seen at the training ground since and has been told to stay well clear until Monday morning when he’ll discover his fate.”
