Joey Barton has responded in hilarious fashion on Twitter when asked about the quality of Celtic midfielder Scott Brown.
The duo had a brief rivalry during Barton’s spell at Rangers as they lined up against each other in the Old Firm derby.
Barton was asked on social media about Brown and showed his Ibrox colours with a comical putdown of the Scotland international.
“How envious of Scott Brown’s quality and achievements. Also did he intimidate you (be honest),” Barton was asked.
The 35-year-old responded in brilliant fashion by just saying “who” on his personal Twitter account.

Rangers fans will love the comment about Celtic captain Brown, but know that their current side is a long way off their rivals.
The Gers are currently on the search for a new full-time manager as caretaker boss Graeme Murty takes temporary charge and don’t appear to be a serious threat to Brendan Rodgers’ team this season.
Celtic are currently top of the league table as they lead Aberdeen by a point, while Rangers are already six points adrift of the leaders.
Rodgers’ team are continuing their domestic dominance and central midfielder Brown is an integral part of their success.
The 32-year-old is a mainstay in the starting XI and the combative figure is a real driving force, with his toughness and ability in possession making him a real fan favourite.
He already has seven top-flight titles in Scotland under his belt and will be hoping to continuye that this season.
