No chance of Legia getting kicked out. Ineligible player was a sub for final 3mins of 2nd leg. Same thing happened last year and the offending club was only fined as ineligible player was not material to the result.

I really hope not
I don't think its a good way of getting through but rules are rules. Not sure it'll make any difference in the longer term and can't see Celtic doing anything. I don't reckon it'll come to much though

Hopefully but UEFA work in wonderful ways
That was what UEFA did last season in an identical scenario and was the reason they gave for rejecting the protest from the club who got knocked out.

But always a chance of a good draw and over KO you never know - always a chance and certainly one not to turn down - worth millions

Depends on your point of view.I'm delighted they got pumped, and hopefully they'll not get back in due that player farce.
Reducing the funds Celtc have at their disposal results in their squad being trimmed and slowly getting closer to everyone else, the league gets more competitive and other teams may just win a trophy, like last year.Euro co-efficient is nonsense, we'll never,ever have other teams going far in euro comps, so lets concentrate on maing the domestic game more interesting, and a weaker Celtc helps that.

Celtic benefitted from this a few years ago.
For me it's a nonsense, we weren't good enough anyway and should be out.

Depends on how you view that, a weaker Celtic will see less fans turning up to see Celtic therefore less travelling support therefore less money for clubs along with the potential of less sponsorship for Scottish football.
Call it as you like, football is finance based, the less attractive it becomes then the less money will come through.
Don't worry though, Hibs won't have to worry about that for a few years now, if you don't get out of the Championship this year the chances are we may see Hibs in the lower league for a number of years.

Up until Tuesday I was pretty confident I'd see Hibs in the lower leagues for a good few years, but seeing how Stubbs has radically changed the style and confidence within the squad so rapidly, and given there's chat of a couple of the better Everton youth players coming up for a year, I'm far more optimistic of our chances.Especially given how poor I found The Rangers.Very average and I think they'll struggle.McCoist must be the worst Rangers manager ever.
Wrt to lower Celtc support travelling due to being poorer, I'm pretty sure that the loss of away support would be met by an increase in home support given the chance of competing, of lower levels of support meaning lower policing costs, or less TV games meaning more folk actually going to games and spending money.Depends how you see it I suppose and there is good arguments for both.
Scottish football needs to re adjust, become closer to the Swedish or Danish model instead of trying to be a smaller version of English upper leagues.Outside the to 10 teams there shouldn't be full time footballers and north/south regional leagues should replace the current set up lower down.Celtc/Rangers finding a suitable way out of Scottish football would be ideal, both for them and the clubs left behind.

So... Celtic are back in the champions league. Well done Bhoys!
Through on away goals after an impressive 3-0 win at Murrayfield.

Totally farcical. Celtic will probably get more in "prize money" for getting to the next stage after being humped 6-1 than St Johnstone will for selling their star player. Something very wrong with that.

^^^don;t know whether to be
or :angry: as these are the sort of thing that stunt development of smaller clubs and bias things so much in favour of likes of Celtic. But same as it ever was.

Very lucky but rules are rules just like golf when somebody gets DQ.
I hope they get to group stage now
