Celtic reinstated to Champions League after Uefa punishes Legia Warsaw

Bartosz Bereszynski came on in the 86th minute of Legia Warsaw’s 2-0 win at Celtic in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier.

Celtic have been reinstated to the Champions League after Legia Warsaw were handed a harsh penalty by Uefa for fielding an ineligible player.

Legia won the third qualifying round tie 6-1 on aggregate but brought on Bartosz Bereszynski for the last four minutes of their 2-0 second-leg victory at Murrayfield, while he was supposed to be serving a suspension.

Uefa on Friday punished the Polish club by awarding the game 3-0 to Celtic, meaning the Scottish champions progressed on away goals having lost the first match in Warsaw 4-1.
