John Lundstram parties with Premier League best pal as ex Rangers star gets behind the decks at music festival
Lundstram appeared in video shared on social media looking relaxed as he partied with fellow Scouser Ross Barkley.
John Lundstram was called out by his ex Rangers boss Philippe Clement in an interview last week.
But it looked to be the furthest thing from the former Ibrox iron man's mind as he lived it up during a break in Barcelona.
Lundstram appeared in a video shared on social media looking relaxed as he partied with fellow Scouser Ross Barkley.
Aston Villa star Barkley posted a video to his followers on Instagram as he partied in the Catalan capital.
And Lundstram joined the 31-year-old in the Spanish city as they enjoyed their summer break.
The pair have been close friends since they were teenagers, having played for Everton and England U20s.
The duo were at an all-night music event in one of Spain's most lively cities.
Footage shared on social media showed the duo in the the VIP area of Eastenderz - OFFWEEK Castle's 6pm to 6am event in Barcelona. Eight artists performed through the night at the event.
Lundstram departed Ibrox last summer and joined Turkish side Trabzonspor.
In an interview last week, Clement pointed the finger at the Englishman and Borna Barisic, who joined Lundstram in Turkey, as having his mind on his next move during his final months at Rangers.
The Belgian said: 'If I look back, two players who were not good in those two games (against Ross County and Dundee where they dropped points) they left at the end of the season on a free transfer.
'They were at that moment busy also talking with other teams with their agents, about their future and all those things.
'Probably, and maybe, it had an affect on them. Did they not want to become Rangers? For sure not. They wanted to become champions and give everything.
'But the situation to be at the end of the contract at that moment of the season was also not a good one.'

Love Island legend shares dirty villa bathroom secrets girls had to go through
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island alumni Malin Andersson is not a fan of the current series and has shared a few behind-the-scenes secrets from her time on the ITV2 dating show Love Island alum Malin Andersson, who appeared on the show back in 2016 for their second series, is not holding back when it comes to her thoughts on the current series. Now 32, the body positivity campaigner and mental health advocate says she watches the new Islanders with a very different lens. 'I'm 32 so I'm a similar age to them on there,' she says, 'but I can see through it all completely now.' Malin, who famously left the villa after being dumped on day 25 has since distanced herself from the Love Island world. 'I don't talk to any Islanders at all,' she admits. 'The girls lower their bar because of the show and that's what makes it toxic. They're not understanding their worth.' She's also not afraid to share some unfiltered behind-the-scenes secrets. 'I was constipated at one point in the villa because I held it in for ages,' she laughs. ' Olivia Buckland [now Bowen] did the same. We used to go on poo watch and made sure no guys were near the toilet. One of us would guard, and Cara De La Hoyde [now Massey] helped.' Though she doesn't stay in touch with former castmates, Malin clearly remembers the realities behind the glam – and wants this year's Islanders to remember their value. 'It's easy to get lost in the show,' she says. 'But you've got to know your worth.' Last week, Malin spoke out about hitting "rock bottom" after her time on the ITV2 dating show and called for it to be axed. "Love Island. It starts tonight...I'm quite shocked this show is still on air to be honest," she said in an emotional statement on her Instagram Stories. "I was on it 8 years ago, and in that 8 years I've turned pain into purpose and used my platform for good. Within the 8 years that have passed I've had to hit rockbottom to find a strength I never knew I had - and awaken to the truth of who we are. "However what young Malin didn't know was, how dangerous a show like this is - portraying toxicity as love, unrealistic body standards and women who maybe broken inside but wanting love for the wrong reasons - and thinking fame will save them.. and as for the men - similar things." Malin added that she wants a show that helps contestants"find love for ourselves first" before finding it in someone else. She added: "We don't need a show making women especially feel bad about themselves - or fuelling eating disorders. That's outdated now. It's not it." ITV has introduced extensive duty of care procedures during the show's run, with contestants being offered comprehensive psychological support before, during and after filming on the show. They are also asked to pause any posting to their social media accounts while they're on the show and to complete video training and guidance on language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, microaggressions, mutually respectful behaviour in relationships and behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercing behaviour. The new series of Love Island began last week with a new line-up of singles stepping into the ITV2 villa and there has already been two shock dumpings and six bombshells.
