Bloemfontein Celtic skipper Thabo Nthethe tells KickOff.com that Mulomowandau Mathoho's departure is not a "big loss".

Mathoho moved to Kaizer Chiefs recently and Celtic have signed two former Chiefs defenders; Dominic Isaacs and Brent Lawler, who were fringe players in Naturena.

Nthethe says the duo is capable of filling the void left by the Venda-born player.

"What I can say is Mathoho is a good player and it was good to play with him, but I can tell you that we didn't lose that much because we still have players like Dominic Isaacs and Brent Lawler… They can cover that space and I don't think that will be a problem," Nthethe says.

"I don't think it is a big loss, although we wanted to keep him but we managed to get good players to replace him," he adds.

Siwelele's defence will be tested on Friday by Orlando Pirates when the two sides meet in the MTN8 quarterfinals clash on Friday at the Orlando stadium, but Nthethe is adamant Celtic are up for the fight.

"We know it will be a tough game, but then again we are ready to play any team… I think we have an exciting team for this season. I can promise our fans that we won't disappoint them this season," Nthethe concludes.

hahahahahahaha this Nthethe guy is one of the honest guys i have ever met. So he approves everything i have said since this Towel left his grandpa's venda farms to try his luck in football, that he is just a tall overated cow who is going to be mustarbated time and again.

Bennie also proved on the weekend.

So what was all the hype about this below average shit player, if fringe players can just walk in his shoes, said before and will always say it.. the DTC beat Celtics and a couple of days ago we put one past the Zebras whilst this overated donkey was there.

True that Nthethe, the Venda boy is a pure cow. He just win a few high balls, thats all. Jessica's phunani was overworked for nothing here. celtic robed the Zebras. Mushekwi will abuse Mulomowekunuka. As for Isaacs and Lawley, those are just cows who failed at the farm. We'll easily go past them.

Cheeseboy wil make MlomoweGorilla regret not being in the same team with him while Pelepele will be toying with Gaxa. Morgan will be doing wrestling on Teko, we know how skillful is Teko.

We all saw how slow chiempazees defence is. They had to defend with 11 men, the entire match. Kaizer Santos defence Fc is out of the MTN8 already and the pressure is on the CV cooker. No Qubule or Hlongwane please. I see they signed Bennet this season.

It's amazing how Mathoho was a brilliant player when he was linked to Orlando Pierats! All of a sudden he is a cow because he chose Glamour over Being a thug!

They spent the whole transfer window replacing players with equally capable players instead of beefing the squad with quality players.

Shweshwe & Towel Mlomowachimpanzee's difference is only their nationallity. Physical apperances they are the same and performance wise they are both below par.
Morgan Goat not different to Issacs

I'm sure Celtic were also happy to get rid of The Towel and a very high fee. No wonder he was anveiled as a headless Barbie doll, there's basically no difference between the two. The Zebras were robbed yet again. Operation Triple Treble Champions is under way!!! Ha'uweng banna, ha'uweng, ha'uweng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Champ-Marapo,

Lol champ of the house of DTC, i also dont see any difference between Morgan Goat and Isaacs, they both slow and relay on wrestling tactics.

@dumisk01,

I am glad that Kaizer chiempanzees signed this headless Poppie doll, he belong with gorillas really. He could not outjump Bennie to head the ball. When the ball is played on the ground he cant even see it. He is just a headless Giraffee. Chiempanzees were robbed, they thought they are buying a Gorrilla.

That is so true captain Nthete. Celtic was there before mathoho and will continue to be there after.
