Donegal manager Jim McGuinness with then Tyrone manager Mickey Harte after the 2013 Ulster SFC clash
Jim McGuinness’s second tenure as manager of Donegal will see a renewal of his rivalry with Mickey Harte in the Ulster SFC next year.
Donegal were drawn away to the back-to-back Ulster champions Derry, who Harte now manages, in the quarter-finals.
The winners of that last eight tie will then take on either Tyrone or, whoever comes through in the preliminary round, where Monaghan play Cavan.
The four teams involved in the Preliminary Round in the last two years - Antrim, Armagh, Fermanagh and Tyrone - were excluded from this year's opening round draw.
