Rangers flop Joey Barton has branded former Celtic keeper Joe Hart as a "big, stupid dope goalie".
The ex-Ibrox midfielder levelled the criticism at one-time team-mate Hart in a scathing verdict on the standard of football punditry.
Barton - who retired in 2017 - blasted Hart as well as former team-mate Shay Given who he called a "doughnut".

On his podcast, Barton questioned why the pair have landed punditry gigs as he slaughtered the knowledge of the former goalkeepers on any incidents outside the 18-yard box.
In the rant, Barton - who played just eight times for Rangers - said: "We got a goalie on there, Joe Hart. Big, stupid dope goalie. I was with Joe...dope.
"Then I go on to Match of the Day 2, Shay Given is on there, another dope goalie.

"They don't know anything about anything that happens outside the 18 yard box.
"They haven't got a clue, they block balls every single day in training with their face and their body."
Hart and Barton shared the pitch once as team-mates for a match against Sheffield United for Manchester City back in 2006.
Barton - who branded himself as the best player in Scotland upon his arrival in Scotland - had his time in Glasgow cut short with his contract terminated in November 2017 after a fall-out with the club.
