Ladbrokes.com Championship: Donegal Celtic vs Limavady United, Tuesday at Celtic Park, 7.45pm

Donegal Celtic boss Pat McAllister says his players are "bursting" for Tuesday's big Championship showdown with Limavady United at Celtic Park.

The hoops manager can call on a fully fit squad bar defender Daniel Hanna who is not expected to return from his broken arm injury until later this month.

McAllister said: "This is without doubt our biggest game of the season and we are ready for it. The players were really disappointed last Friday's game with Bangor was called off after performing so well against Larne. So they are really keen to get going again and they know the importance of this game.

"We have a chance to close the gap at the top of the table to three points and we have still to face Limavady again - so there's a lot riding on this game."

Defender Jim McMenimen will contest the centre-half post with Ian Curran, who was impressive in the recent 3-0 win over Larne. McMenimen missed that game due to suspension.
