Former midfielder Joey Barton is training at Burnley once more, Clarets boss Sean Dyche has confirmed. The experienced Barton was Burnley’s player of the year last season as they secured a return to the Premier League. However, he then opted to take on a new challenge by moving to Scotland to join Rangers as they embarked on their return to top-flight football north of the border.
Joey Barton insists he has unfinished business with Rangers and claims he cannot wait to rejoin Mark Warburton’s squad.
The midfielder is currently serving a three-week club suspension following a blazing row with the manager – as well as team-mate Andy Halliday – in the wake of Rangers’ humiliating 5-1 defeat to Old Firm rivals Celtic.
