The 34-year-old was banished from the club for nearly a week following a row with team-mate Andy Halliday and Warburton in the wake of their 5-1 defeat to Celtic. Barton met with the Rangers boss and board members at Ibrox on Monday morning. The outcome of the meeting is not yet clear, with the midfielder saying he could not comment on it but, when asked if he was still a Rangers player by Sky Sports News HQ, he responded: "I think so". The former Manchester City player was absent as Rangers drew 0-0 with Ross County at Ibrox on Saturday. Barton also missed training on Thursday and posted a lengthy statement on Twitter later that night about the incident. Warburton refused to answer questions on the fall-out after Rangers' goalless draw at the weekend and decided to walk out of his post-match news conference early as reporters asked one question too many on the subject.

The decision means eight players, including French coach Zinedine Zidane's sons Theo and Elyaz, can play for their respective youth teams until the appeal decision is made. "The Court of Arbitration for Sport has granted the precautionary measures that Real Madrid appealed for following the sanction issued by FIFA," said a statement issued by the European champions on Friday. The CAS, sport's highest tribunal, has never overturned a transfer ban from football's ruling body FIFA on the signing of minors. FIFA has not disclosed the names of the 39 players originally investigated but Real director general Jose Angel Sanchez said they included Zidane's four sons. Theo, 14, and Elyaz, 11, represent Real's youth teams while Enzo, 21, and Luca, 18, play for the club's reserve side Castilla in Spanish football's third tier.

The sporty hatchback loses its two-door body Volkswagen plans to kill the cool, less-expensive two-door version of its GTI. Announced at the same time as the Subaru-fighting Golf Alltrack, VW says it doesn’t think the GTI two-door makes enough sense to see it live through the short-term future. To some, it might come as a surprise that VW still makes the two-door GTI, as it isn’t exactly commonplace on the street or at VW dealers. Ordering a two-door VW GTI involved, well, doing just that -- ordering one. The less-useful GTI was rare enough on dealer lots that you probably had to talk to a salesperson and get one built. It makes sense that the four-door GTI takes the reins, as it follows the utilitarian hot hatch trend. More so, it closely follows the product planning for the top-Golf -- the Golf R. Unlike the Golf R, we doubt the GTI will ever ditch its manual gearbox. While we’re sad to see VW GTI lose its two-door body, we can’t say we’re surprised. Sure, the two-door hot hatch shaved about $600 off the GTI's price tag, and added a bit of cool, but it sacrificed a lot of rear-seat convenience.

Lyon have pulled out of a deal to sign Emmanuel Adebayor due to his desire to play in the Africa Cup of Nations. The 32-year-old free agent, who has been without club since being released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season, begun negotiations over a proposed move to Lyon on Friday. But in a brief statement released on Saturday, Lyon confirmed they would not be pursuing a deal to sign Adebayor due to his wish to represent Togo at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations which "would have led to an absence of one to two months". The Ligue 1 club also added the former Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham forward had "delayed his arrival in Lyon since the beginning of the week before coming to Parc OL on Friday to have talks with coach Bruno Genesio".

Retired and restored 1962 roadster is on sale through Petrolicious When we think about classic British police cars (which we constantly do), we typically picture the old Rover P6 slowly navigating foggy London streets at bicycle speeds. What we don't picture is a Triumph roadster chasing down bank robbers piloting the obligatory British Ford Transit van. Despite their reputation for using words alone to shame criminals into surrender, Britain's finest have occasionally had to put some pedal to the metal and chase down some baddies. Back in the '60s, if you and your mates nicked some antique shotguns ("That's right, guns that fire shot") and took off in something British Leyland cobbled together from rusty steel left over from the war effort, you might have seen a Triumph TR4 in your rearview mirror.

Emmanuel Adebayor is on the verge of signing for Lyon, according to the Ligue 1 club's manager Bruno Genesio. The forward, who is a free agent after his contract expired with Crystal Palace, held talks with Fulham earlier this summer but a move failed to materialise. The former Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham forward is now subject to interest from Lyon, who are seeking an offensive replacement for the injured Alexandre Lacazette and Lyon manager Genesio has revealed Adebayor is in the French city to finalise a deal. "He has arrived in Lyon and I'll meet him after this press conference," he said. "I have many things to ask him, including about his last experience with Crystal Palace. I want to know about his form and his motivations for wanting to join us. I also need to know more about his physical level. "It will not be an interview but a conversation to get a real idea of the player and the man. It's very important to me." Genesio admitted despite having an injury-stricken forward line, he would only sign players that fit in with the current squad. "The transfer window is over and there are players who are free agents for different reasons," he added.

Fiat-Chrysler will recall 1.9 million vehicles built from 2010 to 2014 equipped with faulty airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners, and that the problems are responsible for three deaths and five injuries. Chrysler did say that the conditions for a problem to occur are specific, and require a “vehicle equipped with a particular occupant restraint module and front impact sensor wiring of a specific design” to be involved in “certain collisions.” The recall does spread outside of the United States, hitting 142,959 cars in Canada, 81,901 cars in Mexico and 284,051 outside the North American continent. The affected cars in Mexico are examples of 2010 Chrysler Cirrus compacts, and the affected cars outside North America are 2012-13 Lancia Flavia sedans.

Volkswagen today released teaser pictures of an electric car that it hopes will lead the automaker out of its diesel scandal and into an electrified future. The near-production concept previews a compact EV with a long range that VW brand is expected to launch in early 2018 or 2019. The EV will have a distinctive design to differentiate it from VW’s non-electric cars. The production version will be the first VW to enter the market based on the automaker's new MEB (modular electrification kit) platform, the company said in a statement. VW did not reveal any more information ahead of the concept's debut at the Paris auto show later this month. The concept "signals VW brand's entry into a new era," it said. "The vehicle is as revolutionary as the Beetle was seven decades ago," VW said. Last month VW brand CEO Herbert Diess told the German news magazine WirtschaftsWoche that the EV will be the size of a Golf compact hatchback but with the interior space of the Passat midsize car. The extra room comes from the way the batteries have been packaged in the floor of the car.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he thinks prolific forward Sergio Aguero is poised to sign a contract extension. The 28-year-old Argentina international has spoken before about possibly re-joining his first club Independiente when the five-year City contract he signed in 2014 expires. However, reports have emerged suggesting Aguero will extend his deal by a year and remain with City until at least 2020. And Guardiola said at his Friday press conference: "I don't know if I am the right person to talk about that but I think he is going to extend the contract. "It is not official. I don't know if it is definitely going to happen but, if he stays, I will be so, so happy."

Mobileye chairman highlights gap between perception and capabilities Mobileye, the company that supplies sensors for Tesla's semi-autonomous Autopilot driver assist system, is publicly criticizing Tesla's use and advertisement of the system in the marketplace, Reuters reports. In comments to Reuters, the Israeli tech company's chairman suggested that Tesla is "pushing the envelope" when it comes to safety, after a string of crashes in 2016 in which the system was confirmed to had been used or was suspected. "It is not designed to cover all possible crash situations in a safe manner," Amnon Shashua told Reuters. The executive's comments address an apparent gap in some drivers' use and understanding of the limitations of the system and Tesla's advertisement of the system in official company literature and in company stores. The tech company parted ways with Tesla shortly after a fatal crash in Florida in May of this year, though Tesla CEO Elon Musk blamed the split on Mobileye's inability to keep up with the automaker's product changes, according to Reuters. "Long term this is going to hurt the interests of the company and hurt the interests of an entire industry, if a company of our reputation will continue to be associated with this type of pushing the envelope in terms of safety," Shashua added.

Eddie Nketiah has signed a professional contract with Arsenal (pic from Arsenal's official website) Eddie Nketiah, Arsenal U18s' top goalscorer last season, has signed a professional contract with the club. Nketiah, 17, scored 24 goals in 28 appearances for the youth side in the last campaign, and has already added four in his first three fixtures this season. While Arsenal's senior side drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League opener on Wednesday, Nketiah also made his debut in the UEFA Youth League against PSG as they played out a goalless draw. A statement on Arsenal's website said: "As well as his eye for goal, Eddie has impressed in our academy ranks with his speed and dribbling skills.

Motherwell have signed midfielder Lee Lucas on a short-term deal. The former Swansea man has been with the club through the summer on a trial. The 24-year-old signed a deal that keeps him with the Fir Parkers until January, with potential for the deal to be extended. Motherwell manager Mark McGhee said: "I'm delighted that we're able to sign Lee - he'll be a valuable addition to our squad. "As we've seen in recent weeks, injuries can hit at any point and Lee adds depth to the squad as well as bringing real ability and a great option. He is a technical midfielder, a good passer; a little different to what we have." Lucas himself said: "I'm delighted, I've been here a while now so it's nice to get it sorted now and just concentrate on my football, help out the team and I just can't wait to get involved." He added: "It's been great here so far, the boys have been brilliant from day one and they helped me settle in straight away. "Now that the contract is all sorted and done, I can just focus on my football and enjoy my time here even more."

Fifty years ago last month the Mercedes-Benz Universal, a station wagon built in Belgium by Benz contractor IMA, debuted. The Universal was based on Mercedes’ 200 D and 230 S fintail sedans and boasted a split rear-seat backrest, a self-leveling rear suspension and an optional third row -- all ahead of their time. Even with those innovations, Benz only sold 2,754 of them, putting a bullet in the poor thing's head after 1968. Undaunted, Mercedes tried the wagon idea again in 1978, launching the Wagon 123. This time, the idea took: Well over a million E-Class station wagons have been built, and, especially here in the U.S., their blend of elegance and practicality have helped them carve out their own niche. As Benz notes, U.S. E-Class Wagon buyers have among the “most affluent customer profiles of any vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio,” joining the S-Class Coupe as Mercedes-Benz USA’s demographic leader. So next spring a new E-Class wagon arrives: the E400 4Matic Wagon, based on the E sedan launched six months ago. Mercedes’ 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 powers the wagon, producing 329 hp and 354 lb-ft with the new 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission standard. So is all-wheel drive, as the name implies. Like the E-Class sedan, the new wagon’s long hood, steep rear window and short overhangs make it look more modern and dynamic than the outgoing car. The higher beltline makes the ’17 look stretched -- it’s also an inch longer and an inch lower overall. The interior is straight-up E sedan, so fit and finish is among the best in all of automobiledom with rich woods and excellent fit and finish. Where it diverts from the sedan, of course, is the Wagon’s standard third-row folding bench seat -- yup, the E400 seats 7!
