Jim McGuinness enjoys his return to 'special' Ulster nights

Jim McGuinness is winning matches in Ulster again, after his Donegal side racked up the goals in a 4-11 to 0-17 victory over Derry at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Daire Ó Baoill caught Derry goalkeeper Odhran Lynch off his line either side of half-time to score a brace, before Jamie Brennan also took advantage of the stopper's advances up the field by scoring a goal late on.

Amid all that, Oisin Gallen dispatched a penalty, as a clinical Donegal progressed to a provincial semi-final against either Cavan or Tyrone next weekend.

The quarter-final meeting was McGuinness' first Ulster Championship game in charge of Donegal since he came back for his second spell with the county last year, and afterwards he told RTÉ Sport about how special it felt.

"The Ulster Championship will always be the number one for myself anyway, I'm trying to instil that in the boys as well and I don't think that's a hard job," he said.

"They're special nights and I'm just delighted that we were able to bring the level that was required because Derry are a phenomenal team. One swallow doesn't make a summer from our point of view.

"Derry will be there, I have no doubt about that, at the business end of the season, with Dublin and Kerry. For us, it's a victory, it puts us into the next round and that's the most important and pleasing thing.
