The Ulster champions begin their title defence and their quest for three-in-a-row with a clash against Donegal in Celtic Park on Saturday evening
Jim McGuinness knows that Donegal are not yet at the level of the top teams in the country, but he is adamant that his side can spring a surprise against Derry on Saturday night.
Paddy McBrearty, Ryan McHugh, Dáire Ó Baoill, Eoghan Ban Gallagher and Brendan McCole are doubtful starters. All the form points to a Derry victory, yet McGuinness doesn’t see it as a bridge too far for his improving side. “At the same time, there’s always a kick when a new manager comes in and people are motivated and they are working hard. Just because the thing isn’t perfect doesn’t mean we can’t come together to win a game of football.
His first led to Donegal being crowned All-Ireland champions in 2012 and they’ve already won silverware in 2024 - albeit McGuinness is already thinking about how difficult Division One will be in 2025. “Every one of those games. . . you are going to have to have six points to stay up. You’re looking at the teams and going ‘where are you going to get six points’ but there are other teams thinking the same way.McGuinness also spoke of his admiration for Derry boss Mickey Harte with the pair set to renew managerial rivalries along the sideline on Saturday evening.
