Jamie Brennan and Stephen McMenamin could be in line to see their first minutes of the new campaign with that experienced duo named amongst the substitutes

Jim McGuinness has named his starting XV for Donegal’s NFL tangle away to Armagh at the Athletic Grounds. 

The visitors make one change to the line-up that opened in last weekend's win over Mayo with Shea Malone coming in for Conor McCahill at corner forward.

Another big omission for Jim McGuinness' side is that Michael Murphy hasn't been named in the panel, with the Glenswilly man dropping out of the squad having had cameos off the bench against Kerry and Mayo.

Jamie Brennan and Stephen McMenamin could also be in line to see their first minutes of the new campaign with that experienced duo named amongst the substitutes. 

Donegal currently lead the way in Division 1 with a maximum six points from their opening three games. Kieran McGeeney’s men are joint second from bottom with just two points on the board. 

Donegal: Gavin Mulreaney; Eoghan Ban Gallagher, Brendan McCole, Peadar Mogan; Ryan McHugh, Caolan McGonagle, Finnbarr Roarty; Hugh McFadden, Michael Langan;  Shane O’Donnell, Conor O’Donnell, Ciaran Moore; Shea Malone, Jason McGee, Oisin Gallen.

Subs: Padraig Mac Giolla Bhride, Stephen McMenamin, Oisin Caulfield, Cormac Gallagher, Paul O’Hare, Conor McCahill, Jamie Brennan, Eoin McGeehin, Turlough Carr.
