McGuigan warns relegation could be ‘payback’ for Kerry

Outspoken former Tyrone player Brian McGuigan believes sending Kerry down to Division 2 next season would be “payback” for last year’s All-Ireland qualifier defeat in Killarney.

Ahead of Sunday’s game in Omagh, current Tyrone defender Aidan McCrory admitted they “would love to win and put them down” as much as he insists Kerry want to beat them and remain in the top flight.

McGuigan drew ire in Kerry in February when he said the county should forget about winning an All-Ireland title for the next six or seven years. After being sent off in his last game in a Tyrone jersey last July, he also claimed Declan O’Sullivan exaggerated an injury to convince David Coldrick to issue McGuigan a red card.
