Derry look to avoid a third successive championship defeat when they host Armagh in round two of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship at Celtic Park on Sunday.
The rising sense of jeopardy in this year's All-Ireland series will come under sharp focus at Celtic Park on Sunday as a wounded Derry attempt to steer their season away from another road bump against Armagh.
For Derry, part of the equation is simple. Losing to Armagh would eliminate the possibility of topping the group. While Harte was in a way removed from the Ulster football cauldron while in charge of Louth, his punditry stint in the BBC studios afforded him a front row seat to Derry's rise to the provincial summit.
Thankfully for Harte, McEvoy and Doherty have regained their fitness in time to face Armagh, but even with their half-back line considerably strengthened, the scrutiny on this Derry team remains intense as they enter another crucial test.
