After a ground-breaking debut, we're proud to announce the return of our BetMcLean football show.

To kick things off in style, we've got the Danske Bank Premiership champion Stephen Baxter, fresh from guiding his Crusaders side to their third title in four years.

Hosted by Pete Snodden, this week's show looks into the club's transition towards a full-time model.

"It's always something that's been evolving. It's just natural in the game right now and I think you'll see 2 or 3 other clubs go very quickly that way," said Baxter.

Baxter also spoke about his new centre forward, Rory Patterson, who's joined from Derry City.

"Rory is a natural goalscorer and he knows the systems. What I liked about him was that he spoke about his own goals and his professionalism. I rang several people about him - he doesn't miss training sessions and works incredibly hard," said Baxter.

Also joining our guest panel this week is Larne forward Tommy Stewart, and regular contributor Steven Beacom.
