Celtic have been reinstated in the Champions League after Legia Warsaw were ruled to have fielded an ineligible player during the second leg of their 6-1 aggregate win.
Bartosz Bereszynski came on as an 86<sup>th minute substitute at Murrayfield when he was meant to be serving a suspension for a red card he recieved at the end of the previous campaign, which breaches Uefa rules.
European football's governing body have declared the match a forfeit and awarded Celtic a 3-0 win in the second leg, which sees them go through on away goals having lost the first leg 4-1 in Poland.
The Scottish League champions are now included in the play-off draw for the Champions League on Friday as a seeded team and could face the likes of Ludogorets Razgrad, Maribor, Slovan Bratislav, Malmo and Aalborg for a place in the group stage.
