Departing Celtic captain Scott Brown has the final word on his rivalry with Joey Barton - "he talked a great game and I showed him a great game".
The former England international joined Rangers in 2016 and immediately set about trying to needle the Parkhead skipper.
Barton claimed that Brown was "nowhere the level I am as a player" and proclaimed he "doesn’t stand a chance".
The pair faced each other just once on the pitch, a 5-1 win for Celtic, and the outgoing captain has had the final word on the rivalry ahead of his last ever game in green and white hoops.
Brown told Sky Sports: "Joey talked a great game and I showed him a great game.
"It was as simple as that, he did the talking off the park and I did it on the field.
"At the end of the game, to be fair to him, he shook my hand.
"It was a battle and it was already in my head that I was winning this battle before the game had even started, because he was talking too much.
"He maybe did that a lot down in England.
"But he had a fantastic career, he went back down and played in the English Premier League for Burnley for a couple of seasons.
"So that shows you what a top quality side we had at the time, that we were doing that to people who left Rangers to go straight back down into the Premier League."
