Derry senior men's Gaelic football manager Rory Gallagher has said he is stepping back from the role with immediate effect.

It comes after "serious allegations" made by his wife in a social media post earlier this week.

In a statement, Mr Gallagher said: "This decision is borne out of a desire to protect my children from the ongoing turmoil."

He was due to lead Derry into the Ulster Championship Final on Sunday.
