Jim McGuinness and Donall Barrett at Celtic Park
Jim McGuinness was a very interested face in the crowd in Celtic Park on Sunday as Kerry rallied late to topple Derry.
The Oak Leafers led by five with five minutes left after a Shane McGuigan goal was quickly followed by points from substitute Lachlan Murray and McGuigan.
However, a goal from substitute Paul Geaney gave the Kingdom hope and in an extraordinary closing 90 seconds of action, his fellow sub Donal O'Sullivan netted to get Kerry on terms before Geaney majored again moments later to stun the home supporters as the visitors snatched a 5-15 to 1-24 triumph.
On Saturday night, Donegal defeated Dublin by 0-20 to 0-16 at MacCumhaill Park. McGuinness’ side was supposed to travel to Killarney in Round 1 of the NFL but that contest fell foul to the weather.

Now, the rescheduled clash will take place this coming Saturday as McGuinness made the short trek to Derry at the weekend to get a better look at Jack O’Connor’s team.
McGuinness would have also taken some early notes on Ulster SFC opening opposition Derry.
