Romanian Side Botosani Troll Legia Warsaw By Dressing Their Ball Boys In Celtic Kits For Europa League Qualifier

Now, you may remember that around this time last summer, Celtic and Legia Warsaw had a bit of a falling out; a bit of an issue.

The Polish side hammered Celtic 6-1 in the Champions League second-round qualifier, but the Scottish champions progressed at their expense due a technicality.

Legia had fielded an ineligible player, Bartosz Bereszynski, for a measly three minutes of the entire tie, and despite protesting to Uefa (and even asking Peter Lawwell to do the ‘decent thing’ forfeit the tie!), lost their place in the competition.

Despite their golden reprieve, Celtic lost the subsequent qualifier against to NK Maribor, but the wounds have yet to heal for Legia.

So their opponents in tonight’s Europa League qualifier decided it was the perfect time to remind them of last season’s troubles.

Romanian side Botosani dressed their rather glum looking ball boys in Celtic kits, to remind the Legia players of the pain they suffered last summer every time they took a throw-in.

Legia won the game 3-0, 4-0 on aggregate, and, to our knowledge, didn’t field an ineligible player.

But in the trolling stakes, Botosani are comfortably Champions League standard.
