Donegal manager Rory Gallagher admits that they always relish playing in Croke Park.

It may be only the first week of February and the second round of the league, but Gallagher is excited by the prospect of facing Dublin at GAA headquarters.

The match is a repeat of last year's All-Ireland semi-final which the Ulster side won and that has added to the hype surrounding the game.

"We are looking forward to the game; any time you get to play in Croke Park it is no ordinary game and especially when you are playing Dublin," Gallagher told the Donegal Democrat.

"It is always a special occasion and it is a game all players look forward too. It is also a great opportunity to give the younger lads in the squad the experience of playing in Croke Park."
