UEFA reinstate Celtic into the Champions League after Legia Warsaw are expelled for fielding an ineligible player.

Celtic have been handed a Champions League lifeline after their qualifier opponents Legia Warsaw were thrown out of the tournament for fielding an ineligible player.

The Scottish champions failed to progress into the next phase of the tournament following a 6-1 aggregate defeat to the Polish side.

Bartosz Bereszynski, who played in the final two minutes of the second leg at Murrayfield, received a three-match ban after getting sent off in Legia's final Europa League match against Apollon Limassol last season.

Moments before today's Champions League playoff draw, it was announced that following a UEFA investigation, Legia have been thrown out and Ronny Deila's side will take their place in the playoffs.

Celtic have been handed a 3-0 victory by default, while the Polish side will compete in the Europa League.

Deila's side will play Slovenian side Maribor over two legs in the playoff round.
