It's the start of a new Danske Bank Premiership season and Crusaders play Dungannon Swifts in the opener. Stephen Manager Stephen Baxter has virtually a full squad to pick from and after a good pre season and European campaign the team are ready to get started and will want a great start in the first game. Dean Shiels has made additions to his squad including ex Crusaders player Michael Ruddy and has brought in Michael O'Connor in the last few days also. Dean will have the Swifts playing his usual brand of football and will equally be looking a good start.
Crusaders and Dungannon Swifts met 4 times last year with Crusaders winning them all.
