Just caught this on SSN, might be a reprieve for Celtic yet, as FC Sion, who knocked them out in qualifying, may be thrown out of the competition for breaching a one-year transfer ban imposed on the club from January this year relating to previous transfer irregularities.

Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart has said he is annoyed at being left out of the club's Europa League squad.

The 28-year-old hobbled off during Spurs' 5-1 defeat to Manchester City and had originally expected to be out for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

But, despite now expecting to be fit for the Liverpool match next week, the omission means the playmaker will miss Spurs' six Europa group matches.

"Spurs could at least have consulted me," he told his official website.

In a section headlined "annoying" on his website, the Dutch international said: "I still think it's a peculiar situation.
