Scott Brown and Joey Barton rivalry rekindled as Rangers flop claims Fleetwood would rather HIM as boss

Scott Brown and Joey Barton had a feud on the pitch that was clear to see.

And it appears said rivalry has not subsided one bit as the two met again, this time across the dugout. Fleetwood Town are in a healthy state under Celtic hero Brown who has taken up his first full managerial post after calling time on a storied career at Parkhead. Meanwhile Rangers flop Barton, who did not live up to the hype at Ibrox, is in charge of Bristol Rovers.

It was Barton's men who prevailed with a 2-1 win on Monday in the English League one as Brown's side made it three games without a win. But the former QPR player launched a scathing attack on the tactics of his old foe and astonishingly claimed that Cods' fans would rather HIM as manager than the ex-Scotland international.
