Rakhale provided the assist to Thamsanqa Gabuza’s match winning goal against Celtic.
“It’s a great feeling to be back in the team. We have been doing well in the past few games,” said Rakhale.
“I would like to thank the coach (Kjell Jonevret) for believing in me and playing me in such a big game. I’m happy to be back,” he added.
“I think now we are going back to the Pirates that people know; a team that plays good football with a winning mentality.
“Everyone is happy in the team and the mood is very high. If everyone can give his best, we will go far,” commented Rakhale.
