Former Donegal star Mark McHugh says Jim McGuinness and Karl Lacey would be “the dream ticket” to take over the county’s senior footballers.

Declan Bonner stood down as Tir Chonaill County boss last week after five years in charge.

Speaking on BBC Radio Foyle, McHugh said former McGuinness and All-Star defender Lacey together could provide a major lift to the set-up.

"The dream ticket, everyone speaks about McGuinness coming back," he said.

"Karl Lacey's been a big player in the coaching scene in Donegal this last number of years. If you're asking me for a dream ticket, maybe Lacey and McGuinness together.

"Will it happen? I don't know. I don't know the thoughts of them, I don't know what goes on in their minds or have they been speaking."
