Joey Barton eager for Rangers return and chance to prove his worth

Joey Barton insists he has unfinished business with Rangers and says he cannot wait to rejoin Mark Warburton's squad.

Barton, 34, is currently serving a three-week club suspension following a row with boss Warburton and teammate Andy Halliday in the wake of this month's 5-1 defeat to rivals Celtic.

It appeared that would spell the end of his time in Glasgow after just eight games for Rangers, but the midfielder has said on Twitter that he is determined to return to Ibrox and make his mark.

He wrote: "not going anywhere, happy to be judged after the season. Played 8 games. Had to use some for fitness as had no pre season!

"Can't wait to get back and show what am about. Came to be successful. Nothing's changed. Thanks for the support."

Barton, who joined Rangers in the summer, is facing a gambling probe after allegedly breaking strict Scottish Football Association rules relating to betting on football.
