The retired midfielder, who played for Rangers in 2016, has agreed to pay the broadcaster damages and legal costs after a clash on social media.
Former Rangers player Joey Barton has to pay broadcaster Jeremy Vine £75,000 - after calling him a 'big bike nonce' on social media .
The posts saw Barton call Vine a 'pedo defender' and a 'big bike nonce'. The Mirror reports that, last month, High Court judge Justice Steyn ruled that 11 of the posts could defame Vine. In response, Barton launched a "calculated and sustained attack on Vine" in January this year, Vine's barrister said. Barton published several posts over the following days to his 2.8 million followers.

Barton said: "Between 8 and 12 January 2024 I published 11 posts which accused Jeremy Vine of having a sexual interest in children, and created a hashtag which made the same allegations, which were viewed millions of times.
"I accept that he did not advocate this policy and that the video clip has been edited to give a misleading impression of what he was in fact saying. I then taunted and abused Mr Vine for bringing a legal complaint against me.
