Sion defeated Celtic in the initial two-legged tie by an aggregate score of 3–1.[5] Celtic had played both games under protest to UEFA after Sion fielded five ineligible players over the two games. Sion were forced to forfeit both ties against Celtic after UEFA found them guilty of the charge with UEFA awarding Celtic 3–0 wins in both legs.[6]
