Celtic out of Champions League

[Albumen]

The full-back only came on in the 86th minute of Legia’s 2-0 win at Murrayfield, when the game was well and truly over. However, the context and impact of his appearance might not have any influence on the outcome of the investigation if rules were breached.

Ouch!

Legia brought on a suspended player for the last two minutes of the 2nd leg. Kin idiots!

Exactly my thoughts.

Don't worry, after their performance in the last round, they'll surely embarass themselves even more in the knockout round.

 

[The Wizard]

Unbelievable luck.

Second leg awarded 3-0 to Celtic so they win on away goals scored, despite not having scored any

 

[Mattywerewolf]

awarded a 3-0 win in home leg and go through on away goals.... Joke.....and they're seeded!

They lost 4-1 in Warsaw.

Corruption there I'm afraid!

 

[WATFORD zero]

Turns out the player who was banned had missed the 3 games that he was suspended for, but because he wasn't registered in the squad for those 3 games, it doesn't count

This is very suspicious.

Quite simply it's a disgusting decision from UEFA, previously when Debrecen did the same they were fined........

Disgustingly corrupt. WTF is going on here?

Celtic fans should be so embarrassed by this. What a joke.

Cant see how its corrupt and suspicious - clubs know the rules. Legia fielded an ineligible player, doesnt matter whether they played for 2 minutes, 20 minutes or even 2 seconds - the fact is they were not allowed to field this player and they did. Rules are rules - Legia should be thrown out. Incredible luck, though one may want to investigate why and how Legia have done this, surely they must have known. UEFA do now need to be consistent though, as they havent in the past - if Legia have been thrown out, so should any other future club, regardless of stature.

Nothing will change anyway, Celtic will be out in the next round.

And if memory serves me correctly 3-0 is the standard result for UEFA games concluded like this. This isn't the first time.

 

[Steve Foster]

Unbelievable that Celtic get drawn against Slovenian side Maribor (who?) for a place in the Champions League.

Would this have happened if Celtic were not a 'Big' club?

Very suspicious .........

Cant recall a game where it hasnt been a 3-0 scoreline either. Also, do Legia have previous for this ?

Something dodgy going on , if a player is suspended the club know he cannot take part so why register him as part of the squad ? UEFA appear to interpret the rules on the basis of how much more money they can bank.
