Sion have lost their appeal to Uefa against Celtic's reinstatement to the Europa League after a hearing in Nyon.
Neil Lennon's side will now play Atletico Madrid in the opening game of the group stages on Thursday.
Sion had qualified from the play-off stages after defeating Celtic 3-1 on aggregate but were ruled to have used ineligible players.
The Swiss club may now take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The club, and their president Christian Constantin have ten days from the receipt of Uefa's judgement to launch any such appeal.
Earlier, a civil court in Switzerland had ruled that Sion should be allowed back into the competition.
Uefa have confirmed they received details of the decision of the court in Vaud, and say they will comment on it at a later stage.
The Swiss Cup champions have previously indicated that they will travel to Spain for Thursday's match regardless of Uefa's verdict.
Celtic confirmed the news on their website. and said they were "pleased" with Uefa's decision.
"Uefa today rejected FC Sion's appeal against their expulsion from the group stages of this season's Europa League," they said in a statement.
"Celtic were reinstated to the competition and will take on Atletico Madrid, Udinese and Rennes.
