JOEY BARTON admits he’s desperate to resurrect his Rangers career because he wants another crack at Celtic.
The controversial midfielder is currently serving a three-week suspension after he failed to apologise to manager Mark Warburton following a training ground bust-up.
Barton’s days in Glasgow appear to be numbered but the 34-year-old has thrown the door open to a possible return.
Speaking at the launch of his autobiography ‘No Nonsense’ in London last night, the Englishman insisted he wanted the opportunity to make amends to boss Warburton for the humiliating 5-1 Old Firm thrashing earlier this month.
He said: “The Old Firm is more deeply rooted than just football, but my experience of it wasn’t every good.
“It’s not going to be if you get beat 5-1.
“It was difficult to take it all in. I was just worried about getting beat.
“If we had won 5-1 it would have been the best thing I’d ever experienced. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to play in a few more and experience a few more different outcomes.”
To publicise his new book Barton held a 90-minute question and answer session with Times journalist Henry Winter in central London.
The plan had initially been for Barton, who had pulled out of two public speaking commitments earlier in the day, to avoid speaking about his current employers.
When he appeared on stage last night Winter explained that out of respect for Rangers he was going to skirt around the suspension issue to which Barton chipped in: “Otherwise I will get the sack.”

I think I would kill myself if I obsessed so much about random strangers on a award winning football forum.
