Celtic Corner - 6 August 2018

Loading player...
The 2018/19 Premier Soccer League season kicked off over the weekend and if the first two days of the season is anything to go by, it will be one thrilling campaign.
Bloemfontein Celtic will be more than happy with their start to the season after securing a brilliant 2-0 win over Chippa United at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium on Sunday.

Celtic overcame all the odds to secure the three points which see them second in the standings, although it is still early days.

Last week Celtic only had one training session after the players went on strike again due to unpaid wages. This promoted the South African Football Players Union to finally step in to try and defuse the situation.
