Squad

Phila Dlamini damages knee ligaments — 53 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 53 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Bloemfontein Celtic up to position 2

72 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bloemfontein Celtic

Sam Johnstone and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Real improvement from Mpho Moletsane at Bloemfontein Celtic

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mpho Moletsane is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words at Bloemfontein Celtic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Sørensen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

Naphtali Mokoena gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Kasper Høgh is carrying Bloemfontein Celtic

31 goals and a season average of 7.94. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Market

The Vélez deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Camilo Durán reports back to Bloemfontein Celtic with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Kasper Høgh honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. Bloemfontein Celtic had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

Market

Eyes on Reyaad Pieterse again

The phone has started ringing about Reyaad Pieterse again, and this time the name on the line is Rangers International. Bloemfontein Celtic are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

Nobody wins at Bloemfontein Celtic

12 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Match

Bloemfontein Celtic cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bloemfontein Celtic

Camilo Durán and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

The step up is real for Mpho Moletsane

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Gustavo Varela

Bloemfontein Celtic asked and Monza said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Bloemfontein Celtic run riot against Maritzburg United

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

Both of them Kasper Høgh's — 9.45

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.45, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Bloemfontein Celtic

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Kasper Høgh in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bloemfontein Celtic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Bloemfontein Celtic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Sørensen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

One of their own: Landon Emenalo

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings

Camilo Durán was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.78. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Dumisani Zuma

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Oliver Sørensen

17 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
