Joey Barton has aimed a wild dig at Rangers star James Tavernier for his inability to defend - whilst also downplaying his rivalry with Scott Brown as the two prepare to lock horns once again on Saturday.
Barton, now manager of League One outfit Bristol Rovers, will go up against Brown's Fleetwood Town in Saturday afternoon's third-tier clash. With Scott Sinclair in his ranks and a return to the Cod Army after managing the Lancashire outfit for three years, the fixture will be one to keep an eye on for fans of the Old Firm duo.
Much has been said about Barton's spell north of the border, where he self-proclaimed himself as the 'best player' in the Scottish Premiership upon his move to Ibrox in May 2016. However, poor performances and struggles at the club marred his tenure, which culminated in his contract being terminated in the midst of a training ground argument with Andy Halliday.
