Match

Bloemfontein Celtic tear Bidvest Wits apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Bidvest Wits, and it could have been more.

Squad

Kasper Høgh takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad

6 saves: Sam Johnstone was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Tempers go at Bloemfontein Celtic

Oliver Sørensen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Kasper Høgh at his very best

Marked 9.70. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bloemfontein Celtic.

Transfer targets

Notts County tell Bloemfontein Celtic: Alassana Jatta is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Naphtali Mokoena falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

A long bet from Bloemfontein Celtic on Naphtali Mokoena

He is 20, and nobody at Bloemfontein Celtic signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The dugout

Themba Mkhize: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑0, already talking about the next one.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Thabo Cele arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Thabo Cele has, at Bloemfontein Celtic, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

Kasper Høgh wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bloemfontein Celtic hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Haissem Hassan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Haissem Hassan and Bloemfontein Celtic agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bloemfontein Celtic

Kasper Høgh 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

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.

Transfer targets

Bloemfontein Celtic rebuffed over Bobby Thomas

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Coventry City have kept their man, and Bloemfontein Celtic go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

The clock runs on Haissem Hassan's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Transfer targets

Bloemfontein Celtic ask about Gopolang Taunyane

A loan enquiry to Kaizer Chiefs: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Kasper Høgh knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bloemfontein Celtic, and both men came out saying it was fine.
