Rangers terminate Joey Barton's contract

10 November 2016 16:23

Rangers have finally pulled the plug on Joey Barton's ill-fated stint at Ibrox, announcing that his contract has been terminated.

The controversial midfielder has not featured for the Ibrox side since being banished from the club following a furious bust-up with manager Mark Warburton in the wake of September's humiliating 5-1 defeat to Celtic.

Rangers said in a statement: "Rangers and Joey Barton have agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect. Neither Rangers nor Joey Barton will comment further."
