Watch: Joey Barton The Victim Of One Of The Hardest "Tackles" You'll See All Season

If Joey Barton thought he was in for a stroll in Scotland this season, then he was sorely mistaken.

Rangers earned a hard-fought draw away to Kilmarnock on Friday night, with former Rangers striker Kris Boyd putting the home side ahead in the first half, but the real talking point came after a crazy challenge on Joey Barton.

As the former Man City man picked up the ball in midfield, he got rid of it seconds before Greg Taylor came flying in to take his leg off. Or if that wasn't his intention, it certainly looked like it was.

The slow-mo replay shows just how shocking a "tackle" we're dealing with...

Scandalous is right, that was brainless.

At 1-1, Taylor put his team in a bit of a hole but they managed to hold on and secure the draw. Barton was substituted minutes later, and will no doubt have a few things to say about that incident.
