Donegal have named their panel to take on Armagh in the Allianz National Football League Division 2 final at Croke Park tomorrow, throw-in 1:45pm, with Ciaran Thompson winning his 100th appearance and named as captain.

Skipper Patrick McBrearty hobbled off last weekend in the 1-18 to 1-10 win over Meath and is not in the matchday panel, while Ryan McHugh also was substituted in Ballybofey and is not listed to start, although is on the bench.

Caolan McColgan and Niall O’Donnell are listed to make their first starts of the year for the side managed by Jim McGuinness. Donegal and Armagh shared the spoils in a 0-12 to 1-9 draw at the Athletic Grounds earlier in the campaign.
