From the BBC website: Celtic have been reinstated in the Europa League after Uefa expelled Sion from the competition. Sion, who are likely to appeal the verdict, fielded several ineligible players during their 3-1 aggregate win over Celtic in the play-off round. A Celtic spokesman said: "We have been advised by Uefa that the two protests relating to the matches against FC Sion have been upheld. "As a result of which each match has been forfeited in favour of Celtic." Christian Constantin Sion president Christian Constantin had been confident of winning the case Celtic will therefore take Sion's place in Group I, which also features Atletico Madrid, Rennes and Udinese. Sion signed five players while the club were still under a transfer ban imposed by Fifa after breaching rules over the signing of Egypt goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary three years ago. Maybe we were reluctant to sign El Hadary because of what has happened to Sion?
