Following confirmation from Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila that the club has relocated to the Free State, the Siya crew understands the Premier Soccer League executive committee is yet to ratify a possible name change.
TTM are no strangers to making headlines having campaigned in the topflight when owner Lawrence Mulaudzi purchased the status of Bidvest Wits in 2020, only to resell it to Abram Sello, who later renamed the outfit Marumo Gallants.

It would appear there are moving parts yet again, with TTM recently spotted wearing Bloemfontein Celtic attire at one of their matches in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, the second tier of SA football.
Celtic sold their franchise to Royal AM two years ago and there's been talk in the Free State that at some point they could launch their comeback.
This does seem a foregone conclusion, but the finer details and proposal will have to be submitted to the PSL hierarchy ahead of next season. Soccer Laduma understands that the Exco will sit on March 30 and this matter could be on the agenda if presented early.

As things stand, there is no indication that the PSL will block the name change or the relocation considering there's no history of them doing so when given all the documents and paperwork motivating the decision.
The city of Bloemfontein has also recently seen Gallants play some of their DStv Premiership matches at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium, much to the delight of the supporters from that part of the country.
