Rangers midfielder Dujon Sterling found himself off the pitch after a night of reckless driving. The 26‑year‑old, who helped the club beat Celtic 3‑1 at Parkhead, crashed his grey Mercedes‑AMG GLE 63 into a barrier on the M8 in early hours of 4 January. Police footage showed him veering wildly through Glasgow city centre.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Sterling pled guilty to careless driving and accepted a separate drink‑driving charge. The judge handed down a 12‑month disqualification and a £2,250 fine. Breath tests revealed 60 mcg of alcohol per 100 ml, nearly three times the legal limit of 22 mcg, prompting the swift penalty today again so he must stay off the.

Sterling’s crash follows a match‑day cameo against Hearts, where he netted Rangers’ lone goal in a 2‑1 defeat. Club officials already imposed an internal fine, and the player has reportedly agreed not to drive again. The incident casts a shadow over the squad’s momentum as the league presses toward the final stretch for the season.

The loss of a key player to a licence ban raises concerns about squad depth as Rangers aim for a European spot. Fans will watch how the club manages the void in midfield while the club’s management navigates the fallout. Sterling’s return will depend on the completion of a rehabilitation course by the court soon.
