RANGERS flop Phil Bardsley has lifted the lid on the training ground-bust-up with Thomas Buffel that killed his Ibrox career.
Former Ibrox boss Paul Le Guen sent the on-loan player back to Manchester United after his challenge crocked the Belgian star in 2006.
Bardsley recalled: "At Man United we trained like we played - hard. But at Rangers the manager was from a different culture. We had a training session and I went in for a tackle (on Thomas Buffel).
"It was a rash tackle, I suppose, but the lad was OK. But the manager stopped the game and sent me home. He said my attitude wasn't right and that, to me, was a real insult. That was the end of my Rangers career."
