Former England midfielder Joey Barton is to rejoin Burnley on a deal until the end of the season.
Barton has agreed terms to go back to Turf Moor subject to international clearance after deciding to leave Sean Dyche's side for Rangers in the summer.
His move to Ibrox was unsuccessful, however, as he played just eight times before being suspended for his part in a training ground row following a 5-1 defeat to Celtic in September.
Barton did not appear for Rangers again and eventually left the club last month, paving the way for his second spell with Burnley, with Dyche speaking highly of the player on a number of occasions.

The 34-year-old previously spent the 2015/16 campaign with the Lancashire side and helped them win the Championship last season.
He has been training with Burnley in order to keep his fitness up but it remains to be seen when he will come into contention for a place in Dyche's team.
Barton was charged by the Scottish Football Association in October for placing 44 bets on football matches between July 1 and September 15.
