Rangers are in talks with Joey Barton over a move to Ibrox, reports said yesterday.
The midfielder visited Ibrox and the club’s training ground yesterday and is close to signing a three-year contract. Barton was a key player in Burnley’s Championship triumph but was only offered a one-year extension at Turf Moor and wants a longer deal.
The 33-year-old made 40 appearances for the Clarets last season after joining from QPR on a free transfer.
