Joey Barton signs for The Rangers.

[Spike Mandela]

Joey Barton sign two year deal with The Rangers.

Surely the irony of their recent statements and their latest signing can't be lost on even them....

Great singing. Feenyun background though. Wonder if was listening to the Stubbs' abuse on Saturday.

[DarrenSQH]

Him v Scott Brown should be a good watch.

[GreenLake]

He will be red carded the first game. I hope we draw them in the cup as Fyvie would make him his bitch. :greengrin

[hibsdaft]

sweepstake on his first red card.

[Treadstone]

And wants to get rid of the Royal family. Sure to go down well.

[HibeesLittleHel]

And were they claiming he was assaulted by a Hibs fan who invaded his sun lounger and planted his face on Barton's fist?

[Edson Arantes]

Joey Barton, unfortunately, is a great player.

[HibeeLR]

I liked Barton. Shame

[Velma Dinkley]

The Rangers fans already hate him, and have abused him on Twitter, because he dared to say Hibs played well in the cup final, deserved to win and that our fans were just celebrating at the end up the game.

[SlickShoes]

RIP Rangers, paying wages with imaginary money again, tick tock. Line your pockets while you still can Mr Barton.

[ShinyFantastic]

The lure of European football must have enticed him.... Oh wait!

[Diclonius]

Can just see the Daily Rangers exclusive at the next Hibs v Rangers game.

Barton: "Gers fans don't need to be afraid of Hibs yobs.. I'll nut them before they're even on the pitch"

Etc etc.

Very good player and will walk through 90% of games in SPFL. Pity he has signed for an institution that stands for most of the things he seems to be against. Watch him get hounded out for his religion and his views on the monarchy. Can only be there for a very very easy pay day as he was offered a deal by Burnley to play in EPL

[FromTheCapital]

Good signing for them.

Major signing, unfortunately I rate this guy.

[#FromTheCapital]

Wee ******** that fits in with that club perfectly

[macca70]

If ever a club and player were made for each other, it's these 2.

[Since90+2]

Sevco will need about half a dozen more players on good money to challenge Celtic next season.

Brendan Rodgers has not went to Celtic on the premise of spending sweeties in the transfer market , perhaps the Sevco fans will finally get to see how much the lying King is actually prepared to spend.

[J-C]

Vile cretin of a player joins a vile bigoted Rangers, they're well suited.

[DCI Gene Hunt]

Wow. What a coup.

Still lost the cup though :stirrer:

Has his book coming out in late 2016 so I think we can all see his economic thinking here don't you ?

[bathhibby]

I wonder if he'll enjoy the Sectarian songs given he is a left footer

He is also sympathetic to Irish Republicanism, too. The The Rangers v Celtic games next season could be some hatefest.

[truehibernian]

I'm just wondering when Davie Weir is getting the Victoria Cross for bravely leaving his hospital bed to show Joey round Murray Park !

[Pete]

I don't know. He's a bit of a thinker, a bit of a socialist and he champions gay rights.

Doesn't sound like he's very "Rangers minded" and one thing you have to do at Ibrox is basically behave how you are told to by the peepul.

By the end of his indoctrination process, sorry, pre-season, I'm sure he'll be on message.

[macca70]

On Sky Sports News just now, Bartons Press Confrence, sure it will be repeated many times.

Said he had better financial offers elsewhere but he is fed up of being in relegation battles and now wants to win trophies.

Good Luck with that 1 Joey, you realise you won't be in the Petrofac Cup next year.

[Hibbyradge]

Didn't he congratulate Alan Stubbs for the cup win?

There'll be a petition...

Just post this on FF and he'll be hated for evermore :greengrin

......., or Barton.

[easty]

What price is he for SPL player of the year? He'll stroll it. Odious ****, good player though.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

I wonder if he'll pick up the Scottish accent as easy as he did the French one...

[Jim44]

Get the popcorn ready. We are in for a treat next season.

[SeanWilson]

:agree: absolutely. I actually think he's cleaned up his act a little, however still has his moments on the pitch. He's a really, really good player who will breeze the spfl. Great signing, it pains me to say.

[cabbageandribs1875]

didn't realise this was the guy that came out with the daft french accent when he signed for a french team...:rolleyes:

[Jim44]

He said he signed because he was blown away by their tradition and history. Their history is only 4 years old and their tradition flies in the face of his own Catholic tradition and upbringing. Who he plays for is his personal decision but maybe putting the brain in gear before opening the mouth would be advisable.

I just tweeted this to him, no reply though!!

[Bostonhibby]

Ian Black with a newspaper column, Scott Brown and quite a few others will show him how real hard men play fair.

[monktonharp]

Ma Granny had a wee Budgie called Joey. was blue tae. no bad wee chanter it wiz.

To be fair, I think Barton is pretty tasty in a scrap.

However, its a good signing for Rangers but there's no way Celtic aren't going to seriously strengthen over the summer. Rodgers wouldnt go there unless he had assurances he some serious cash to spend.

Barton will be their marquee signing but I'd be expecting Celtic to pull out 3 or 4 signings just as good. Everything for Rangers will probably hinge on Barton, if he gets injured they're goosed.

Was actually half hoping he'd turn rund and sign for Celtic at the last minute!

I was thinking more on the way he plays, yes he's a good player but a nasty vicious wee ned on the pitch, which suits the way they play.

He is a great player with loads of experience in England and abroad, used to the big game atmospheres,.....he,ll lose it first sign of hassle, welcome to Scotland :thumbsup:

I get the feeling that he'll be a protected species amongst the refereeing fraternity in the way Paul Gascoigne was and will get away with murder.

He is a decent player thats for sure, but you can guarantee he will be on the front pages as well as the back next season.

Agree, an Ian Black type figure only without the paint brush.
