Hit them where it hurts.
Last summer, Celtic and Legia Warsaw had a bit of an issue. The Polish side hammered Celtic 6-1 in the Champions League second-round qualifier, but the Scottish champions progressed at their expense due a technicality.
Legia had fielded an ineligible player, Bartosz Bereszynski, for three minutes, and despite protesting to Uefa, lost their place in the competition. Celtic lost the subsequent qualifier, but the wounds have yet to heal for Legia.
So their opponents in tonight’s Europa League qualifier decided it was the perfect time to remind them of their previous misfortune.
Romanian side Botosani dressed their ball boys in Celtic kits, to remind the Legia players of the pain they suffered last summer.
Legia won the game 3-0, 4-0 on aggregate, and, to our knowledge, didn’t field an ineligible player.
But in the trolling stakes, Botosani are Champions League standard.
