Rangers Dujon Sterling appeared in Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday facing charges of dangerous driving and drink driving. The 26‑year‑old allegedly drove at excessive speeds through Glasgow City Centre on January 4, placing other road users at risk. No plea was entered, and the case was scheduled for a further hearing on May 5. He was accused of driving with 60 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 ml of breath, above the legal limit.

Sterling’s legal troubles come on heels of Rangers’ 3‑1 victory over Celtic the previous day, a result that lifted the club to a top‑four league position and kept their Champions League hopes alive. The defender’s contribution in that match, including a decisive tackle and a clean sheet, was praised by manager Steven Gerrard, underscoring the stakes for the Scottish club.

The court’s decision to postpone the hearing to May means Sterling’s availability for upcoming fixtures remains uncertain, potentially affecting squad depth as Rangers push for domestic silverware. With a packed calendar, the club will need to decide whether to rely on veteran defenders or promote younger options. The outcome will directly influence Rangers’ strategy of the end.
