REPORTS in the Polish Press say Legia Warsaw have lost their appeal over their Champions League KO to Celtic.

A leading Polish newspaper today reported that the Poles’ appeal had been thrown out meaning Celtic WILL face Maribor in next week’s Champions League play-off round first leg.

UEFA’s appeals body yesterday heard Legia’s appeal over their punishment for fielding an ineligible player in the second leg of their 6-1 aggregate win over the Scottish champions.

European football’s governing body is due to outline it’s decision on the appeal this morning.

Legia forfeited their 2-0 win at Murrayfield after bringing on defender Bartosz Bereszynski in the 86th minute in the belief that he had served a three-match European ban. The Polish FA yesterday branded Legia "incompetent" over the mistake.

UEFA’s punishment saw Celtic handed a 3-0 ‘walkover’ victory which handed them an aggregate win.

We will bring you confirmation of UEFA’s decision later today.
