Antrim captain Aodhan Gallagher has declared himself fit for Sunday's Ulster SFC quarter-final against Monaghan at Clones.

The St. Gall's midfielder was rumoured to have a wrist injury, but those rumours have been rubbished by the player himself, who is expected to partner Michael McCann in the Antrim engine room.

Meanwhile, half forward Conor Murray admits that Antrim need to improve on the Allianz League form if they're to progress to past the quarter-final stage for the first time since 2009.

"We feel confident going into every game, but we got a bit of a reality check in the league," the Lamh Dhearg clubman told The Irish News.

"We got off to a good start against Sligo and Offaly, but then we met Roscommon and Longford away and they both beat us easy enough. That was a bit of a reality check going into the championship and I'd say Clones will be just as hard a place to go to get a win as we've been to under 'Baker' (Liam Bradley).

"Monaghan will be very, very suited to the pitch, they'll know the ground. Hopefully we'll have enough Antrim supporters down so it doesn't feel like an away match." Tweet
