Loovens rejects Jones swipe

Glenn Loovens has hit back at claims from former manager Dave Jones that he lacked ambition after signing for Celtic.
The 24-year-old Dutch defender was criticised by Jones after he swapped Cardiff for the Scottish Premier League in a £3million deal last week.
However, Loovens believes the move north of the border does not represent a backwards step in his career.
"The manager at Cardiff had his opinion. I have my opinion which is the one that counts," he countered.
"Of course this is a big step for me. If you play to win things, play in the Champions League, then how can you say that's a step down?
"I have to see Scottish football with my own eyes, but I don't think there are any easy games. I watched Sunday's match against Dundee United and they played really well.
"I don't think it's just about two teams."
