'Bloemfontein Celtic fans deserve MTN8 trophy ' - Mphela makes final prediction

Katlego Mphela has backed Bloemfontein Celtic to edge Orlando Pirates in Saturday's MTN8 final in Durban, but he admitted Josef Zinnbauer's side are also in good shape.

Celtic reached the final after eliminating defending champions SuperSport United 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals, having also earned a hard-fought 1-0 win over a highly fancied Mamelodi Sundowns in the quarter-finals.

This was after only scrambling to qualify for the MTN8 via goal-difference on the league's final day of matches last season.
