  • Left for dead: Legia Warsaw’s Tomasz Jodlowiec goes past Celtic’s Callum McGregor.

    Celtic’s Champions League hopes were demolished by Legia Warsaw as the Polish side won 2-0 with plenty to spare in the second leg of their third qualifier at Murrayfield.

    Trailing 4-1 from the first game in the Pepsi Arena last week, a difficult task for the Hoops became impossible when Michal Zyro notched in the 36th minute to quell any notions of a famous fightback.

    The Scottish champions were booed off at the interval and when Michal Kucharczyk added a second on the hour mark the atmosphere threatened to turn ugly for a while with the home side and fans ultimately happy to escape without further punishment.

    Elsewhere, Lille managed to secure their place in the next round with a 1-1 draw to beat Grasshop­pers 3-1 on aggregate while Bate Borisov and Standard Liege also progressed.
