By Andy Newport, Press Association Scotland manager Gordon Strachan offered little sympathy to Legia Warsaw following their desperate attempt to persuade Celtic to give up their Champions League slot. The Polish champions were thrown out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player in the second leg of their 6-1 third qualifying round clash with Strachan's old side. The Parkhead outfit have now been given a second chance of landing a £20million jackpot and a slot in the competition's group stages after they were handed Legia's play-off round place. Let off? Celtic were handed a Champions League lifeline despite losing 6-1 on aggregate to Legia Warsaw
