Kaizer Chiefs are determined to pave their path for the season with more silverware as they face off against Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8.
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
The quarter-final clash at the Rand Stadium has been labelled the pick of the weekend's action as Amakhosi boss Vladimir Vermezovic has challenged Siwelele to a support-off.
The Soweto giants already have the Telkom Charity Cup under their belts and are hoping their fan base can spur them on to another trophy.
"I don't think there's a team that can match us in support and it does not even matter where we play," the Serbian told the Sowetan.
"But it's always nice to start the season by winning a trophy.
"They (Celtic) are big opponents and I heard they beat us in this competition a couple of seasons ago. Some players might want to avenge that."
Vermezovic has been boosted by defenders Jimmy Jambo and Milton Mbooi's return to training after the duo suffered from a bout of flu.
The Serbian, however, hinted that Tinashe Nengomasha will not be in contention for the clash, as his training is not up to scratch following a botched move to Qatar.
Celtic, meanwhile have new signings Clifford Mulenga, Bennett Chenene, Nathan Paulse, Hlompho Kekana, Tsietsi Mahoa and Thokozani Mshengu to call upon.
Paulse, who spent last season on loan at Ajax Cape Town believes Phunya Sele Sele can down Chiefs and lift the coveted cup.
He told Football365.co.za: "Every team that plays, whether it be in the cup or in the league must always think that they can win, but to be honest with you - I think we can win.
"With the team that we have, I mean I am new to the team and we have signed three or four other players, but I have been here for longer than three weeks now and I think that we look good as a unit and we have some good individual players, so I think we can go all the way."
