Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is taking nothing for granted ahead of the UEFA Champions League clash against SPL club Celtic. He said in the Daily Record: "Let's just say there have been a few text messages (with Glenn Loovens) flying back and forward.

"We've been teasing each other. We were in contact after the draw was made and it's going to be difficult.

"We played against each other in the FA Cup when Glenn was at Cardiff City and thankfully I won on that occasion.
