Donegal captain Michael Murphy is expecting a massive battle with Derry full back Chrissy McKaigue as the two look set to lock horns at Celtic Park.

The 2012 All-Star is full of respect for the Slaughtneil club man and he isn't expecting to get anything easy on Sunday in the Ulster championship.

"Chrissy is a massive player for Derry and there is massive respect for him around the country," Murphy stated.  "Rightly so as he's a class act.

"Off the back of an illustrious underage career, he decided to go away to Australia but he's back now and he's really settled back in, and he's making his presence felt in that Derry team in the number three spot.

"They'll be delighted with how he has performed but we'll be trying our best to make his life as difficult as possible."
