Just what is going on with Joey Barton and Glasgow Rangers?
From his enforced absence from the club after a disagreement with his teammates, Barton's future at his new club was up in the air. Rangers weren't commenting on the situation, but the midfielder took to twitter and TalkSport to defend himself:

Now though, he's already had a meeting with his manager Mark Warburton, and the Rangers board this Monday morning.
Naturally, Sky Sports News was there when he came out, and asked him if how the meeting went:

Now though, Rangers have announced that they will be suspending him for another three weeks. In a statement, the club said:
JOEY BARTON has today been suspended by the club and will not return to Ibrox or Auchenhowie for a period of three weeks.
The manager, Mark Warburton, and club believe that time and space is required for both the club and the player to assess all that has happened.
Neither party will make any further statement or comment on this issue.
