The GAA has confirmed that if Donegal get past Louth in the All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals, they must play either Meath or Monaghan in the last eight.
The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) this afternoon released details of the permutations for the quarter-finals.
Before that, the preliminary quarter-final round ties take place, with Kerry welcoming Cavan to Killarney on Saturday, before Dublin take on Cork at Croke Park. Then, on Sunday, Down will play Galway in Newry before Donegal’s home fixture in Ballybofey against Louth.
