Louth captain Paddy Keenan says motivation will not be a problem for the Reds on Saturday.

The Wee County return to the scene of their Leinster final heartache for a Round Four Qualifier against neighbours Dublin, and the St Patricks clubman is relishing the prospect of playing at Croker again:

"If there was ever a draw that was going to get your mind off the Meath game and get you focussed on football, then it was going to be Dublin at Croke Park, so it couldn't have gone any better from that point of view.

"If you cannot get motivated for a game against Dublin in Croke Park, live on television, in front of a big crowd, then you have no right to play county football.

"This is a day to get you motivated. It's the days you want to be involved in.

"It's not often that a Louth team gets to play three times in one year at Croke Park. When you are playing county football, you want to get to Croke Park as many times as possible, so another game there is great for us." Tweet
