Rangers boss Walter Smith has warned Cardiff City that he will not use striker Kris Boyd in his bid to sign defender Glenn Loovens.

The Bluebirds have reportedly told Smith that they want the Scotland striker plus cash in exchange for Loovens.

However, the Gers boss is adamant the striker will be staying at Ibrox despite his struggles to hold down a starting place last season.

"We've been looking to get in another central defender and Loovens is a player who has been recommended and we are taking a look at," he told the Daily Record.

"But if I can't get the right ones we'll just go with what we have.

"It got a wee bit frustrating for Boyd last season with him not playing and I can appreciate that but I don't want to let him go.

"We have a few strikers and I'm sure one or two may go but Boyd is not one I'd want to let go."
