Celtic will remain in the Champions League after UEFA rejected an appeal from Legia Warsaw to be let back into the competition.

The Polish side had beaten the Hoops 6 - 1 on aggregate but fielded an ineligible player in their third qualifying round second leg tie against the Scottish Premiership title-holders.

It means the Glasgow team will play Slovenian side Maribor in a two-legged play-off, with the winners going into the group stage. The first leg takes place next Wednesday in Slovenia.

However, Legia will now take their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
