Legia Warsaw played an ineligible player in the Celtic game. They could get knocked out as it is being investigated by UEFA. Would that stop Forster and VVD?

If the deal with Forster is truly based on his participation in the champions league then this is a huge worry. Should the allegations prove true, celtic will replace Legia in the champions league thus affecting the Forster deal. Van Dijk has yet to be approached by the club unlike Forster so a deal could possibly still be made.

God I hope so

Yes Forsters representatives have advised him not to sign yet and see what happens although I do believe he is not that bothered with the champions league with Celtic anyway knowing that they won't get much further

I don't see it as a bad thing considering a polish side made them both like they play for league 2.how will they compare in the premier league.?

Very much agreed. On the same topic, they brought the guy on in the 86th minute of the second leg where Celtic were 6-1 down on aggregate. Did it really make any difference at all?

Just read that celtic aren't happy with our second bid either. expected to be around 7m. I say leave it, a lot of money for a GK. Arsenal signed Colombian GK David Ospina for 3m. surely there are better GK and deals out there.

New goalkeeper should not be a priority at the moment, centre back and up front are areas in the squad where we are weakest at the moment

The player only played about three mins in the second game so Celtic shouldn't get put through!

Happened before and the team got a 15K Euro fine. Legia won't be knocked out. Don't know how I feel about these signings, would be good to have more cover in both positions though.

The BBC have mentioned in their article that in 2010 a similar situation happened in which the winning team fielded an ineligible player in the dying minutes of an easily won game and they were only fined as it could not have changed the result of the game. I don't think Celtic will get away with this one.

Celtic re-instated to Champions League.


12.) 08 Aug 2014
Celtic reinstated. No consistency there after reading the BBC article. That's absolutely shameful.

It is not finished yet Legia Warsaw will appeal the decision
