Joey Barton will have to serve a one-match ban if he joins a new club following his departure from Rangers.
Joey Barton has been handed a one-match ban by the Scottish Football Association after breaching betting regulations.
Barton, whose contract at Rangers was cancelled earlier this month, admitted to placing 44 bets on matches in contravention of disciplinary rules.
It remains to be seen whether Barton serves the punishment as his future remains surrounded in uncertainty.
The 34-year-old former Manchester City and Newcastle United midfielder - capped once by England - is yet to find a new club following his Ibrox departure.
