Siwelele had to play the last 26 minutes of the match with 10 men after midfielder was shown a red card in 64th minute for a second bookable offence.
The game turned into a tactical battle with few goalscoring opportunities for both teams, but Baroka looked the better side in the first half.
Celtic, who lost 3-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 match prior to today’s game, looked like they had come to the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium for a point, failing to create obvious goalscoring chances.
In the end both teams had to settle for a draw.
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch FC and Maritzburg United also played to a 0-0 draw in the other Absa Premiership match played on Sunday afternoon.
