Having been praised by Micah Richards on Sky Sports following the 2-1 win over City, the former defender asked Barnes about a potential switch at international level. The winger laughed and made out their was an issue with his headphones in order to avoid the question. Host David Jones pressed on the topic, however, to which the the 27-year-old said: "No, listen, that obviously isn't on my mind at the minute. There's a long way to go until the summer.
"The club form for us hasn't been there so, as you can imagine, the team are my only focus... It was about the game tonight, and the next period of games that we've got coming up. So yeah, I can't say that there was any thought in that, it was just getting the job done tonight, which we did.
"I think someone said it, it was the gaffer's first win against Man City, I think it was."
Richards jokingly decided to prod further, asking: "So, it's not a no, then?" while Jones added that a potential name in Scottish colours, 'Harvey McBarnes', has "a ring to it".
