Legia Warsaw face ineligible player probe

The Polish side emerged as 6-1 victors from their two-legged third qualifying round clash, and the investigation relates to the involvement of attacker Bartosz Bereszynski.

The 22-year-old came on as an 86th-minute substitute in Wednesday's second leg, at which point Celtic required six goals to reach the play-off round.
