Especially following this scathing resignation letter in which he slammed the club for their lack of respect towards the players and staff.

During the recent festive season break, the former Bafana Bafana captain jumped ship to take over from Clinton Larsen at the side from Lamontville.

Komphela highlighted the many difficulties the club due to the lack of finances.

In his first game in charge of Arrows, Komphela guided his side to a 2-0 win over the bottom-of-the-log Maritzburg United.

Celtic in their turn will want to build on the 1-0 win over Chippa United on Friday evening which saw them climb back up to 5th in the standings.

The Celtic interim coach, Lehlohonolo Seema, told OFM Sport that they just want build on their win over Chippa United, and continued the good work which Komphela started.

“Football hey, we are ageing before our time,” said the legendary former Celtic captain.

“These are the kind of things you have to accept when you say that you want to be a coach.

“For us, this will be a big one, and I am sure that Steve will also like to see that if what he was doing by us was working.

“He has really built a very strong foundation here, so it’s going to be an interesting game and we are looking forward to it.

“We had a session at the Free State Sports Science Institute this morning (Monday), and we are going to have an afternoon training session as well.

“We are really preparing hard for this game, and hopefully it will be an enjoyable one, but it will be a tough one though.”

Sunday afternoon’s game at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium kicks off at 15:30.
