Joey Barton on brink of Rangers exit as severance deal is agreed

On Tuesday it emerged Barton's return had lasted just one day before he was signed off with stress.

Rangers will finally bring the Joey Barton saga to an end on Wednesday after striking a severance deal with the controversial midfielder.

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.
