The Premier Soccer League (PSL) club, Bloemfontein Celtic, is expected to be playing the most of its matches in the 2019/20 season at the Toyota Stadium in the City of Roses.


The Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium in Rocklands is the team's home ground, however, a source close to Bloemfontein Courant has confirmed that Phunya Sele Sele is set for a return to the Toyota Stadium.

Towards the end of last season, Celtic had been punished after unrest broke out at the Slaughterhouse, and this led to a fight to the very last game to ensure that they would finish in the top eight of the league.

Celtic will have a tough start to their campaign as they will be facing Orlando Pirates on 3 August in their first match. A player exodus has struck Celtic and three of their former players, Tshego Mabasa, Bongani Sam and Kabelo Dlamini, have already relocated to Mayfair where they will be playing for the Buccaneers. Of the three, it is, however, only expected that the Bafana Bafana defender, Sam, could play against Celtic in that particular game.

It has already been confirmed that the former Celtic captain and goalkeeper, Patrick Tignyemb, has moved to Chippa United where he reunited with the former Celtic coach, Clinton Larsen. The Cameronian international captain has indicated that he is happy in Port Elizabeth, and they are looking after him well.

Furthermore, another one of Celtic's stars, Ndumiso Mabena, is also set for an exit from the club. As it stands, the rock-solid player is close to signing a contract with Maritzburg United in KwaZulu-Natal.

Meanwhile, Celtic have confirmed the signing of Harris Tchilimbou of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The 30-year-old midfielder previously played for Free State Stars in South Africa.
