Celtic have been paired with Maribor in the Champions League play-offs after being reinstated in the competition this morning.

Ronny Deila's side lost 6-1 on aggregate to Legia Warsaw in qualifying round three but the Polish club fielded an ineligible player in the second leg at Murrayfield.

Bartosz Bereszynski should have been suspended and, as a consequence, Celtic have been awarded a 3-0 win and qualify on the away goals rule.

Celtic are due to be away from home against the Slovenian champions in the first leg on August 19/20, with the return match on August 26/27.
