Player ratings9 Nov 2026

A brace, and Haissem Hassan takes the afternoon — 8.44

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Haissem Hassan provided it, and the 8.44 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match7 Nov 2026

Whatever happens, Bloemfontein Celtic do not lose

9 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match7 Nov 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic keep winning on the road

6 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Bloemfontein Celtic

Kasper Høgh 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.

Match7 Nov 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic get the job done against Kaizer Chiefs

A 3‑2 win over Kaizer Chiefs, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Reyaad Pieterse

“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 ratings9 Nov 2026

Camilo Durán was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.45. 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic are still strangers to each other

8 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Thamsanqa Manyama: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑2, already talking about the next one.

Match24 Oct 2026

No mercy from Bloemfontein Celtic

Jomo Cosmos will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Bloemfontein Celtic were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Kasper Høgh is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.66 with 23 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad26 Oct 2026

3 goals for Kasper Høgh

The match ball belongs to Kasper Høgh, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match24 Oct 2026

Nobody wants to play Bloemfontein Celtic right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match24 Oct 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic keep winning on the road

5 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Match24 Oct 2026

Kasper Høgh among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Kasper Høgh on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Bloemfontein Celtic and Jomo Cosmos.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Kasper Høgh was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.74. 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words at Bloemfontein Celtic training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Haissem Hassan 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.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

A masterclass from Camilo Durán

Marked 8.54 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match15 Aug 2026

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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Haissem Hassan was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 30. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Kasper Høgh takes the match ball home

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Too dear: Bloemfontein Celtic walk away from Tapelo Xoki

$1.1M was the most the club would pay and Orlando Pirates were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Reyaad Pieterse 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Kasper Høgh at his very best

Marked 9.35. 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 targets17 Aug 2026

Bloemfontein Celtic rebuffed over Mo Dauda

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Mpendulo Ntuli signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mpendulo Ntuli commits to Bloemfontein Celtic for another 3 years.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

A satisfied Thamsanqa Manyama

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑0, Thamsanqa Manyama could afford to be generous.
