Dujon Sterling available for Rangers despite charges over car crash
Danny Rohl has revealed Dujon Sterling is available for selection for Rangers’ match against Aberdeen on Tuesday despite being charged with driving offences following a crash in Glasgow in the wake of Saturday’s derby win over Celtic.
The 26-year-old was arrested after a one-vehicle collision in West Graham Street, Cowcaddens, at around 1.25am on Sunday.
Police Scotland said no one was injured in the incident and the player will appear in court at a later date.
Asked if Sterling, who played the whole game as Rangers won 3-1 at Celtic Park on Saturday, was in contention to face the Dons at Ibrox, manager Rohl told Sky Sports: “Yeah, he is available.
“I’m glad that nothing happened more. I think that is the good part. And everything else, we will see.”
Rohl reported no fresh injury concerns on the eve of the visit from a Dons side who will be under the interim charge of Peter Leven after manager Jimmy Thelin was sacked on Sunday.
“I think he will not have so much time to prepare something new,” said Rohl. “Maybe he will continue (the same way as Thelin), maybe not. We will look back at what he did when he was caretaker over a year ago.
“He will, I think, bring a little bit more emotion because the players want to show up, but now it’s up to them.
“But it’s about how we can perform again on a good level. We have to take the second half (against Celtic) as our role model again, be aggressive, be on the front foot, try to bring our strength. If we do this then we can beat the next opponent as well.”
Asked if there had been any progress in relation to January recruitment, Rohl said: “At the moment we work really hard to do something. I fully trust the board.
“We have a clear picture. But at the moment we have worked on some things, we have a process, and then it’s about the final decision. Maybe the second part, if we get this then we can come through.”
