SuperSport United coach Eric Tinkler says his side can expect a ‘tough game’ against a well-organised Bloemfontein Celtic side in the Telkom Knockout Cup on Saturday.

Siwelele and Matsatsantsa will both battle it out for a place in the last eight of the competition when the two sides meet at the Dr Molemela Stadium.

‘Look, we can expect a tough game in Bloemfontein.  Celtic are an organised side – we expect a tough game,’ Tinkler said to the media ahead of the Telkom Knockout.

‘Obviously SuperSport reached the final last season and I was involved as well, but we want to continue in the tournament.

‘The mood is high in the camp after a good run in the past few weeks, but we need to be consistent as a team.

‘It’s been a great run of form and credit goes to the guys, but I would like to be in the next round and we have to work hard for that to happen.’

SuperSport United against Bloemfontein Celtic kicks off at 18:00.
