Slaughtneil dual star Chrissy McKaigue says Glen are currently "operating at a level that is scary" and expects the Derry champions to overcome Kilcoo in Sunday’s crunch Ulster club SFC semi-final.

Malachy O’Rourke’s men were comfortable winners over Slaughtneil in the Derry SFC final last month and have since saw off St Eunan’s (Donegal) and Scotstown (Monaghan) to leave themselves a win away from the Ulster club SFC final.

Speaking to BBC Sport NI, McKaigue says he sees Glen as favourites for this weekend’s clash against the 2019 Ulster champions who were 11-point winners over Ramor United of Cavan last time out. 

"Malachy and Ryan Porter have them going incredibly well," he said. "The only thing is they are playing against seasoned campaigners, the reigning Ulster champions.

"I do firmly believe that Kilcoo and Glen in another (competition) structure could be in an All-Ireland final - never mind a provincial semi-final.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Kilcoo take them down the stretch and might nip them.

"But I've got to be honest in that I see it as Glen being just about favourites because, some of the players, and the way they are playing as a collective, is absolutely awesome."
