Defender Neil McGee hails Donegal’s squad depth

Neil McGee believes Donegal have more depth than at any other time in the previous five seasons under Jim McGuinness and Rory Gallagher.

In 2014, McGuinness started just 16 players in Donegal’s first five Division 2 games. In the same period in Division 1 last year, Gallagher gave starting berths to 18 men.

Eamon McGee for Michael Carroll was the only change from the Down game for the latest win over Cork but then the likes of Rory Kavanagh, Martin McElhinney and Neil Gallagher have been coming off the bench, while Mark McHugh, Leo McLoone, and veterans Karl Lacey, Colm McFadden, and Christy Toye have yet to feature.
