Mixed fortunes for SA-based players

There was no Bloemfontein Celtic place for Gabadinho Mhango as they drew 0-0 with Maritzburg United at Kaizer Sebothelo Stadium on Sunday.

South Africa press reports indicate that Gaba has not played for Celtic since scoring on his debut a fortnight ago in the 2-2 draw with Moroka Swallows. Celtic are 10th on nine points.

But Limbikani Mzava was present in Celtic defence, not missing any match this season.

Still in South Africa, Robert Ng’ambi headed marginally over the posts, but his teammates Henrico Botes and Magakolodi Ngele atoned for that with a goal and a brace respectively as Platinum Stars thumped SuperSport United 3-0 on Sunday.

However, Flames veteran striker Esau Kanyenda is now back in training having recovered from a dislocated finger.
