Tyrone will be without Justin and Joe McMahon for their Ulster SFC opener against Derry at Celtic Park on Sunday.

Both brothers have been deemed not fit enough to make the match-day squad for the Red Hands' quarter-final clash with the Oakleafers.

Rory Brennan also misses out completely through injury and his place at centre-back goes to championship newcomer Niall Sludden as Mickey Harte makes two changes.

Dromore clubman Sludden and Peter Harte revert to defence to cover for Justin McMahon and Brennan with Cathal McShane and Richard Donnelly coming into the attack.

Tyrone (SFC v Derry): Michael O'Neill; Aidan McCrory, Ronan McNamee, Cathal McCarron; Tiernan McCann, Niall Sludden, Peter Harte; Colm Cavanagh, Matthew Donnelly; Cathal McShane, Mark Bradley, Richard Donnelly; Connor McAliskey, Sean Cavanagh, Ronan O'Neill.

Subs: Niall Morgan, Lee Brennan, Frank Burns, Padraig Hampsey, Conall McCann, Darren McCurry, Kieran McGeary, Padraig McNulty, David Mulgrew, Jonathan Monroe, Barry Tierney.
