Joey Barton has found an ally in Sean Dyche, but the Burnley boss refused to be drawn into the midfielder's row with Rangers.
Sean Dyche has nothing but praise for Joey Barton's attitude during his stint at Burnley, but steered clear of suggesting he could try and tempt the suspended Rangers midfielder back to Turf Moor.
Barton earned Burnley's Player of the Year award after helping the Lancashire club back to the Premier League last season.
He departed for Rangers in the close-season, but is currently suspended from the Ibrox club after trading verbal barbs with team-mate Andy Halliday in the aftermath of the humiliating 5-1 Old Firm defeat to Celtic, with manager Mark Warburton also reportedly involved.
