Rangers Footballer Dujon Sterling Appears in Court
Rangers footballer Dujon Sterling has appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with dangerous driving and drink driving offences.
The 26-year-old was arrested following a single-vehicle collision on West Graham Street in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow in January.
During his court appearance on Wednesday, Sterling did not enter a plea. His bail was continued, and the sheriff approved a request to remove a bail condition that previously prevented him from driving.
Details of the Alleged Offences
Court documents allege that Sterling drove at "excessive speeds" on city centre roads including Queen Street, Hope Street, and West Graham Street in Glasgow on 4 January.
"It is claimed that he drove into the path of other road users and failed to keep a proper lookout."
Further allegations state that Sterling did not use his indicators when required and overtook vehicles in an unsafe manner. Subsequently, he is said to have lost control of his vehicle, causing damage to a barrier as well as to the car.
The second charge relates to drink driving, with Sterling reportedly having 60 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, exceeding the legal limit of 22 micrograms.
Context and Next Steps
Notably, Sterling had played for Rangers just hours before the incident, in a match where the visitors secured a 3-1 victory.
Sheriff Jonathan Guy has continued the case to a further hearing scheduled for 5 May.
