Preparations for Saturday's final at the Moses Mabhida is well underway for both teams, who are out to end their respective trophy droughts.
For Celtic, they last lifted silverware in 2012, when they won the Telkom Knockout and will be hoping to quench their eight-year trophy thirst after recently missing out on the Nedbank Cup.
Meanwhile for the Buccaneers, the last time they won silverware was in the 2013/14 season when they lifted the Nedbank Cup.
However, as confirmed by the respective coaches, both sides have been equally hit with injury concerns. The finalists each have two players out, while both sides sweat over players who will undergo late fitness tests to determine their availability.
