Joey Barton in talks with Rangers over transfer

Rangers are in talks with Joey Barton over a move to Ibrox, it is understood.

The midfielder has been visiting Ibrox and the club's training ground today and is close to signing a three-year contract.

Barton was a key player in Burnley's Sky Bet Championship triumph but was only offered a one-year extension at Turf Moor and wants a longer deal.
