Loovens rules out Birmingham

Celtic defender Glen Loovens has ruled out the possibility of him leaving the Scottish giants for a move south to the Premiership's new boys Birmingham City.

Loovens, formerly of Feyenoord, is desperate to stay at Celtic despite talk of Alex McLeish ready to offer £2 million for the centre back.

Celtic are ready to offer Loovens an improved 3 year contract and more money to stay at Celtic Park for 2009/2010.
