Joey Barton refuses to discuss explosive Rangers exit as he focusses on Burnley: 'I ain't going to have a go and air my dirty laundry in public'

Joey Barton insists the real reasons for the explosive end to his Rangers career will remain private.

The controversial midfielder lasted just eight games in Glasgow before he was frozen out following a row with boss Mark Warburton and team-mate Andy Halliday.

The 34-year-old has since re-signed for Burnley after Gers took the decision to cancel his contract.
