Celtic eliminated from Champions League

Celtic are out of the UEFA Champions League after being comprehensively beaten by Polish club Legia Warsaw.

The Scottish champions lost 2-0 at Murrayfield on Wednesday night to fall 6-1 on aggregate in the third round of qualifying for Europe's premier club competition.

Celtic conceded in the 36th minute when Michal Zyro calmly slotted past Fraser Forster before Michal Kucharczyk ended the hopes of Ronny Deila's side just after the hour-mark.

The Hoops will now enter the Europa League play-offs while Legia will look forward to their Champions League play-off later in the month.
