Former Tyrone panel member Shay McGuigan has hit out at manager Mickey Harte over comments he made.

In remarks published in The Irish Sun, three-time All-Ireland winner Harte said that players who depart panels over lack of game-time are a "drain on the energy of the group".

McGuigan, who was among a crop of players who left the Tyrone panel last year, was angered by the comments and said that they made his "blood boil" and has "annoyed" him since.

The player made his feelings clear in a message posted on his Twitter account:
