PAV'S BACK TO RESCUE CELTS WITH REDFEARN

ANOTHER rollercoaster week at Farsley Celtic saw ex-Leeds United boss Neil Redfearn drafted in as manager - but chairman Paul Barthorpe was just as chuffed at landing his assistant.

Director of football and previous boss Pav Singh stepped down last Saturday but has performed a U-turn to return as Redfearn's right-hand man.

They were nounced minutes ahead of Farsley's 5-0 defeat to Scarborough Athletic on Friday night with Barnsley legend Redfearn taking in the action from the stands while coach Clifton Robinson took charge.

It is the latest twist in a whirlwind season that the Celts have spent on the road, playing home games 70 miles away at Buxton due to delays installing a 3G pitch at The Citadel.

But Barthorpe, who said the duo would have access to an unchanged playing budget despite the off-field problems, is bullish about the future.
