Bloemfontein Celtic chief executive Khumbulani Konco says the cash-strapped side will give the Caf Confederation Cup ‘the respect it deserves’ next season if they qualify through the Nedbank Cup.

The rules could work in Celtic’s favour in the coming weeks and they qualify even if they lose to fellow finalists Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup decider at the end of the season.

The Free State side's financial problems are well documented but Konco dismissed suggestions that they could drop out of the competition due to these challenges. “It would be a great honour to our departed founding father Dr Petrus Molemela to have continental football played at the stadium which is named after him. It would also be a reward to our fans to finally see continental football in Bloemfontein after all these years.
