They are only one point behind Chiefs, who remain seventh and still not sure that they will qualify for next season’s MTN8.
Ndumiso Mabena buried a 22nd minute freekick for hosts Celtic, forced to move the match from the Free State because of the rioting that caused the abandonment of their last game in Bloemfontein.
Chiefs were awful in the first half with over-elaborate movements, short, pointless passes while Celtic showed them how to do it with quick transition and good use of the flanks, especially the left where Bongani Sam again impressed. Ernst Middendorp made two changes at half-time to try and inject some life into his limp team but it was only in the 70th minute that Celtic goalkeeper Patrick Tignyemb had to make his first save of the game – from a soft effort from Dumisani Zuma.
