Scotstown's Kieran Hughes and The Roscommon Herald's Ian Cooney join us ahead of a win-or-bust Monaghan v Roscommon clash in Clones. Davy Garland or Stephen Mooney up top? Will Brian Stack or Conor Hand force their way in for the Rossies? Kieran sees no real relevance in Scotstown's clash with St Brigid's, while for Ian, Roscommon's poor record on Monaghan soil is less concerning given the exuberance of youth.
