John Barnes isn't exactly making it easy for Scottish football to learn how to love him. On the eve of Dundee's visit to Parkhead last week he dismissed questions about his future at the club, saying "I'm more concerned with playing Dundee United tomorrow." When it was pointed out to him that Celtic were in fact playing Dundee he said, "Did I say Dundee United? I'm always getting those two mixed up." He is sure to receive a warm reception at both clubs when he next visits.
