Donegal's Michael Murphy prior to throw-in at Dt Hyde Park in Roscommon
Michael Murphy comes in for his first start of the 2026 season as Donegal get ready to take on Roscommon.
Throw-in at Dr Hyde Park is 1.30pm and a win for the visitors would help secure a spot in the Division 1 NFL final at Croke Park.
Peadar Mogan and Max Campbell also come into the starting XV originally named on Saturday evening with Paul O’Hare, Jamie Brennan and Shea Malone all dropping out.
Murphy will surpass Neil McGee’s record appearances haul of 194 when the action gets underway, taking over that mantle from 2012 All-Ireland winning teammate Neil McGee.
Donegal: Gavin Mulreany; Eoghan Bán Gallagher, Brendan McCole, Stephen McMenamin; Ryan McHugh, Caolan McGonagle, Finnbarr Roarty; Hugh McFadden, Jason McGee; Michael Langan; Peadar Mogan, Michael Langan, Max Campbell; Conor McCahill, Michael Murphy, Conor O’Donnell.
