Brian McGuigan is in no doubt that Mickey Harte will have a plan to beat Dublin in next Sunday's All-Ireland football final.

The Red Hands will go into the decider as massive underdogs, but McGuigan - who won three All-Ireland medals under the long-serving Tyrone supremo in 2003, '05 and '08 - says write them off at your peril.

"You have to have that belief. I was speaking to Mickey on Wednesday and he was starting to make me believe that we're going down there to win!" the Ardboe clubman told RTE at the announcement of the new documentary, Tír Eoghain: The Unbreakable Bond, the story of Tyrone's minor teams of 1997 and 1998, which airs on TG4 tomorrow night. 

"I remember us going into the 2008 final against Kerry and we were maybe 3/1 to win that. We probably knew we were going out against individually better players in the Kerry team but as a collective unit we just knew we'd a chance.

"The one thing that will stand to Mickey is he'll have three weeks to prepare. For the Super 8s games and the back door he only had a week to prepare his team for the match.

"The dangerous thing for Dublin now is that he has three weeks and he is going to be looking at Dublin religiously. He will definitely come up with some sort of plan. The unfortunate thing is Mickey might come up with a plan and it still won't be good enough against this Dublin team."
