Celtic has the fourth biggest fanbase in South Africa, if they are to relocate that means those millions of fans would have lost a club they supported for years with all of their hearts.
Some are suggesting that the PSL develop rules to govern such sales by using models similar to what is done in England, where whoever comes in to buy a club will not be able to change its name or relocate them.
