Celtic shun Legia plea

Celtic were unmoved after Legia Warsaw called on their “best traditions of honour and honesty” in requesting that the Scottish champions agree to a further meeting to determine which of them should progress in the Champions League.

Celtic were on Friday handed a lifeline in Europe’s premier club competition after Legia were punished for fielding an ineligible player in their 6-1 aggregate win over the Scottish champions in the third qualifying round.
