While that would seem to be a fair and honourable solution, I don't see that it can happen. There are no provisions within UEFA regulations to allow it to happen. It could lead to both clubs being banned from European competitions if they try to circumvent UEFA rules.
There are also the practicalities of the situation now that the draw has taken place. UEFA wouldn't allow Legia to take Celtic's seeding as this would be akin to rewarding the team that have fielded a suspended player.
My initial sympathy for Legia is waning day by day as they refuse to accept that they messed up big time and face the consequences.
