Former Rangers and Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton seems to mock Ibrox club’s bitter rivals Celtic, currently managed by Brendan Rodgers.
Celtic may be creating history in Scotland, but former Rangers and Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton does not seem to rate them highly.
The Bhoys went unbeaten in Scotland last season, and there is a very good chance that they will repeat their heroics during the 2017-18 campaign.
The Hoops have gone 62 games unbeaten in Scotland, equalling their own record set way back in 1917.
Joey Barton:
As quoted by The Scottish Sun, Barton said about Celtic’s 62-game unbeaten run: “I know Sunday League teams that have managed that.”
