Celtic Re-instated into UEFA champions' league

Celtic have been reinstated to the Champions League after Legia Warsaw were kicked out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player. Legia won the third qualifying round tie 6-1 on aggregate but brought on Bartosz Bereszynski in the second leg, while he was supposed to be suspended.
As a result Celtic were handed a 3-0 'walkover' win for the second leg, taking them through on away
goals. Legia have five days to appeal and have asked for Uefa's reasoning. The Polish champions, who now take Celtic's place in the Europa League play-offs, won the first leg 4-1 and the second 2-0. Celtic are now seeded for the play-off draw and can face Ludogorets of Bulgaria, Maribor of Slovenia, Slovan Bratislava of Slovakia, Malmo of Sweden or Denmark's Aalborg. Uefa's disciplinary board confirmed that Bereszynski has also been hit with a further game's ban. He was sent off in Legia's final Europa League tie
last season against Apollon Limassol and received a three-match ban. He should have been registered for the club's two- legged tie against St Patrick's Athletic, even though he was unable to play.
Celtic have previously been given a reprieve in continental competition in similar circumstances. Neil Lennon's side were beaten 3-1 on aggregate by Sion in the Europa League three years ago, but the Swiss side were subsequently ejected from the competition after they were found to have fielded ineligible players.
Sion had signed five players while still under a Fifa transfer ban for breaching rules over the signing of Egypt goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary three years earlier.
