Joey Barton claims the interest is back in Scottish football following Steven Gerard’s arrival at Rangers

Rangers have blown hot and cold domestically this season, but they are impressing on the continent and recently set a new European record of 11 games without defeat.

The appointment of Steven Gerrard as the Light Blues manager has surely changed the club’s fortunes, and their one-time midfielder Joey Barton claims the Liverpool legend has brought the excitement back to Scottish football.

The Fleetwood Town manager dubbed the Premiership pathetic few months ago as Celtic closed on the double treble, but with Hearts currently topping the league table, he has had a change of heart.
