<\/p>\nMost Celtic supporters, and football supporters in general know the name Legia Warsaw, the most famous and successful club in Polish football history. And similar to Celtic are synonymous for their famous green and white colours\u2026<\/p>\n
Mention the name Legia Warsaw to Celtic supporters, and the first thing that naturally springs to mind, would be the debacle that was the 2014 Champions League qualifier, a tie that saw Ronny Deila\u2019s Scottish champions comprehensively dumped on aggregate by the much superior Polish outfit, only to be re-instated after being awarded a 3-0 win due to the Polish side fielding an ineligible player in the latter stages of the second leg.<\/p>\n

Several players have also played for both Legia and Celtic throughout the many years, most notably current centre back Maik Nawrocki<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dariusz Dziekanowski, Celtic FC.

But there\u2019s also a unique connection between the two clubs, due to an interesting fact surrounding the Polish sides 1990 Polish cup final win over GKS Katowice.<\/p>\n Legia Warsaw\u2019s Celtic Hoops.

Celtic also reached the final of their own domestic competition a few weeks earlier, but suffered a 9-8 penalty shootout defeat to Aberdeen.<\/p>\n Just an Ordinary Bhoy<\/p>\n Celtic Shorts is the new home for the team from The Celtic Star<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n HAVE YOUR SAY \u2013 Join the Celtic conversation in our comments section below\u2026<\/p>\n Summer Sale now on!
