Ulster GAA have confirmed that Donegal will meet Derry in Celtic Park this Wednesday night in the Dr McKenna Cup semi-final.

The fixtures were released today for both semi-finals, with Jim McGuinness’ side finishing second in Section C behind Derry.

Both sides finished on three points after beating Antrim and were both awarded a point following their called-off clash, which was due to take place in O’Donnell Park in Letterkenny, Sunday week ago.

And Ciaran Meenagh’s men will have home advantage in Celtic Park, with throw-in set for 7.30pm.
