Armagh need just a point to secure promotion in their remaining two Division 3 games but Kieran McGeeney is taking nothing for granted.

The Orchard County will play host to Louth in a local derby at the Athletic Grounds on Saturday evening.

When the two sides met in Division 2 12 months ago, Armagh fought back from a nine point deficit to share the spoils.

"We have had some good and some bad but we are still winning but the important thing is to get a point to make sure we go up," Geezer outlined to The Irish News.

"We have two games left, one at home to Louth and away to Sligo, probably not ideal if we're looking for points as Louth and ourselves will always be kind of close and Markievicz Park will always be tough too.

"Louth are playing a great style of football and, even against Tipperary, they scored 3-11 and put up some high scores.

"It is going to be a tough game, but with ourselves and Louth they always are. That is just the nature of neighbours, they like to get stuck into each other.

"I don't expect next Saturday to be any different and that you all you can really look at. You are just hoping that the boys can produce a performance and get a point out of it and it puts us in a good position.

"Because if we don't get a point, we have to go away to Sligo for points which would be a difficult scenario."
