Rangers and Joey Barton have agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect. Neither Rangers nor Joey Barton will comment further.

BREAKING #Rangers have confirmed @Joey7Barton has had his contract at the club terminated with immediate effect. Sky Sports

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/scottish/rangers/joey-barton-finally-agrees-rangers-payoff-deal-35203307.html The Light Blues are desperate to offload the £20,000-a-week summer signing - who has not been seen at the club for a week after being signed off with stress - after watching his Ibrox switch turn sour. SHARE GO TO And it is understood they have finally secured the agreement needed to end their four-month association following final showdown talks with Barton's representatives yesterday. But the 34-year-old former Manchester City, Newcastle and QPR battler is said to be intending on kick-starting his career as soon as the January transfer window opens. And the former England international still believes he is good enough to cut it in the English Premier League - with former club Burnley looking his most obvious destination. Barton has not been seen in a Rangers kit since their 5-1 thrashing by rivals Celtic back in September. He was involved in a furious bust-up with team-mate Andy Halliday and boss Mark Warburton as the shell-shocked Gers squad held a training-ground post-mortem into their Parkhead humiliation. Warburton was left furious when Barton refused to apologise after questioning his manager's methods - specifically his acid-tongued criticism of Rangers' defensive set-up - in front of the entire squad and banished him from the club's Auchenhowie training ground. That suspension was eventually strung out for eight weeks as Rangers chiefs examined whether they had grounds to sack the ex-Marseille midfielder, who further enraged Warburton when he gave an unauthorised radio interview questioning his fellow Englishman's handling of the initial fall-out. Barton also fell foul of the Scottish Football Association's strict betting rules. He faces a Hampden hearing a week on Thursday, but is only expected to receive a moderate punishment. When it became apparent to Ibrox bosses that dismissal was not an option, however, Barton was eventually allowed to return to training last Thursday. But it was made clear he would not be rejoining Warburton's group as he was instead ordered to train with the club's Under-20s team. Areas like the training ground gym were even ruled off-limits when the rest of the first-team were present. The soap opera did not stop there, though. On Tuesday it emerged Barton's return had lasted just one day before he was signed off with stress. But it now seems enough is enough for the troubled Ibrox outfit - they are already 11 points behind Celtic just 12 games into the season - and chairman Dave King's board are now set to draw a line under the episode by agreeing a settlement package. Barton is understood to be "gutted" that his Ibrox move has turned into such an unmitigated disaster. He turned down a £35,000-a-week offer at Burnley, where he was named the Claret's player of the year after their triumphant SkyBet Championship campaign last term, in order to seal his switch to Glasgow on a two-year contract. Never shy to give his opinion, Barton claimed he would prove himself to be the best player in Scotland, while also insisting he would dominate Celtic skipper Scott Brown when the two went head-to-head. But he never came close to delivering on those promises in the eight appearances he made for Warburton's team. He looked short of fitness after a rushed pre-season and was left chasing shadows as a Brown-inspired Hoops line-up ran amok in the first Old Firm derby of the season. Despite failing to perform in Scotland, however, Press Association Sport understands Barton remains as convinced as ever that he retains the quality needed to play in the top-flight south of the border. And a return to Burnley appears to be his most likely move once the transfer window reopens. Turf Moor manager Sean Dyche has already refused to rule out a return for the Liverpudlian after being asked about a possible reunion last month.

Joey Barton finally agrees Rangers pay-off deal By Andy Newport It is believed that Rangers will finally be... fb.me/1AgbtxjP8

We have signed bit part players, ones who have been loaned out, have had injury problems and others who played in Englands lower Divisions. To me this is where the inconsistency comes from, the better players are more consistent, it's why Rangers and t'other lot have always/ usually won the League.

Thanks Ian, 5th on there. Something I noticed yesterday, if they are 6th highest Park must have been buying. That list would agree it seems.

They say 6th largest shareholder, anyone have an uptodate list?

Coffee Machine FFS The record gets the big stories right enough

Sky sources understand #Rangers & @Joey7Barton reach agreement to terminate his contract: tinyurl.com/p7x72pp

Not been at training this week, stress seemingly. In the latest twist to the Joey Barton saga the midfielder has reportedly been signed off by his GP with stress. Barton, who was suspended by the club following an altercation with Andy Halliday and Mark Warburton, returned to training last week with the Development squad at Auchenhowie but hasn’t been seen at the training ground since his return. Interestingly, there have also been reports suggesting the Englishman was on the brink of agreeing a pay-off with the club so it looks as though there could still be much more to come from this. SKY SOURCES Joey Barton has been signed off from #Rangers training with stress & hasn't been at the training ground since Thursday last week

There must be serious doubts about the manager at Ibrox. Too many faults have been evident for too long. We have pressing, pace, movement last week yet none of these were evident today. Do the players listen to the Manager or did he change the way of playing? He must have to the end of the season, but there will have to be improvement, consistent improvement.

Against the team at the bottom of the League, that was not acceptable. We are not improving or learning.

It is mate, but Barton was too much of a gamble for a Club with our recent history.

Without doubt it will cost us, monetary and PR. Terrible decision to sign him.

Alberto Balde in elfideldo report on the youth teams seems to be an interesting lad. THE story of former Portadown FC Youth footballer Alberto Balde’s transformation from an underprivileged migrant to being on the verge of a career in the Premier League has been captured in a short video produced by Google. Earlier this year, The Portadown Times ran a story about Alberto, a Spanish-born footballer who wanted to play with kids his own age, but was unable to communicate this through his lack of English. After spotting Alberto, Portadown coaches Gary Magee and Glen Traynor used a Google Translate app to communicate with him, allowing the youngster to join in and flourish for their Under 12s side. Since then, Alberto has developed incredibly well and has since moved from Northern Ireland to England for trials with several Premier League outfits. After hearing of how their app helped change Alberto’s life, Google produced the above video to celebrate his success. http://irishpost.co.uk/video-how-a-young-migrant-went-from-portadown-to-the-premier-league/
