Would sadly be a good signing for them.

This. Wonder if he'd get the Scott Broon pass from refs?

This was my first thought. Wouldn't last 5 mins up here unless playing for one of the erse cheeks. Agree would be a decent signing with the freedom to hoof folk about.

And so it begins. They are going to attempt spend a lot of money they don't have. Which will mean Celtic will spend even more that they have been squirreling away. Our management are going to have to have an absolutely spot on transfer window.

One of Burnley's best players this season and named in the championship team of the year. You'd think Burnley would have kept him?

The chance to play in the best league in the world again of sign for a club just on the rise again in a average league. Weird one

I think I read he wants a two-year deal that Burnley are yet to offer, I would think this might be a way of extorting one. I think quite recently Pochettino was photographed with Sir Alex Ferguson and signed a new deal at Tottenham later in the week.

 

Although Burnley fan at my work said the only reason he signed for them was due to Frank McParland, who was head of recruitment, and is now at Rangers.

Different Class

Barton to Rangers and Keane to Celtic. Please. So many handbags, so little football.

I remember we were linked with him back in 2005, would be a good addition to Rangers.. does not take away the fact that he is one of the most odious characters in English football, and soon to be Scottish.

Regardless of whether they have the funds or not. Some actually believed that they wouldn't be in a position to do so! 

 

Whilst Barton is a thug he's a brilliant player and one which would totally standout in Scotland.

He'll get sent off everyweek up here. Decent player in his day, probably past his peak now and will be wanting a hefty swedge, Rangers can pish their money away on used to be's like old times.

I agree, he would be an excellent signing for them, probably their captain and key player. We will have to get our signings right given our budget as both of them are getting set to throw money at next season, there is nothing surer.

He was one of the best players in the Championship last season, voted into the team of the season by his fellow pros and would immediately be a complete standout here. Possibly the best player in the entire league. He was playing in and leading a Burnley team that won their league. The Hull team who destroyed Derby today after finishing in 3rd would have won the SPFL at a canter. Would be a brilliant signing by Rangers.

It's another player coming to the weegie club for his swan song and pension top up.

Would like to see if his attempt at a weegie accent will be as good as his attempt at speaking French...

probably worth a bet on Barton getting sent off on his old firm debut,although the odds would be pretty short!

Sad to say that this is precisely the sort of signing we don't want Sevco to make. I'm certain he would be a standout. I still want to know where the funds are coming from for this sort of thing though. They still don't have credit facilities, do they?

 

Also Newcastle's relegation means Ashley will have to sell his stake in either them or Sevco.

To be fair if he was in the English championship team of the year he'll do fine up here.

We wish. He'd enjoy the same protected status as Scott Brown, or Gascoigne in the 90s. It is possible that 'Rangers' will have lost their aura during their time away, but I reckon it will be straight back to business as usual where the officials are concerned.

Juninho won the world cup with Brazil and English Player of the year with Boro but couldn't get his game at Celtic so how you do in another countries league means nothing, completely different box of frogs.

 

The Scottish Prem isn't as bad as people make out considering the terrible deal we get from broadcasters.

Sorry if posted elsewhere.

 

At Murray Park for talks with Rangers. Would be a very good signing if they pull it off, to me though it looks like a way to broker a longer deal at Burnley.

Sky are quite clear about what they are reporting : they are NOT saying Barton is in any way involved in transfer talks. 

 

If Sevco wanted Barton they wouldn't ask him all the way to Glasgow - unless he'd agreed terms & needed a medical , maybe ? Which is highly unlikely , at the moment , at least.

 

I'd say this is what is known as a "squirrell" on other websites , designed to give the media some thing to report on Sunday morning - and to take their minds of THAT report that no one wants to talk about.

Personally I think he's mellowed a fair bit and channeled his game to show off his undoubted his talent more than his undoubted short fuse. He actually never had a red at all this season. Since the famous meltdown at Man City he has had the following red cards:

 

2015-16 0

2014-15 1

2013-14 1

2012-13 1

Barton and Rangers?

I can't think of a more suitable match.

A match made in the gutter.

I remember Celtic signed Roy Keane and everyone said he'd piss the league - didn't quite work out that way and I reckon it would be the same with Barton.

The league is going to be alot more competitive next season. Us, Aberdeen, Rangers and Celtic top four.
Barton is an outstanding signing for this level, has the ability to completely control the midfield

Stick-on red card in an OF derby.  Scott Brown will manage to wind him up.

Barton will be the better player by a distance but he's a head case.  Brown will play head games with him until he's either sent off or utterly distracted.

So it begins. They'll dump half the players that got them up. Holt won't be starting after January.

Won't happen.

That's my thoughts to. Will be interesting to see if money has been discussed yet as I would imagine he would have been on decent money in the Championship and could easily pick up another club at that level who will pay more than Rangers.

 

If he does go, as others have said, a perfect match. A piece of scum and will fit right in.

Would be an incredible signing and one I wouldn't want them to make.

 

Vile human, vile club.
