Rangers player Dujon Sterling has been banned from driving and fined after crashing his car while almost three times over the drink-driving limit, according to Spanish newspaper AS.
The 22-year-old defender, who has made 14 appearances for Rangers this season, was stopped by police on the evening of April 22 after his vehicle was spotted swerving on the road.
Key moments
According to AS, Sterling’s blood alcohol level was recorded at 128 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood, which is more than twice the legal limit in Scotland.
The Rangers player was arrested and later charged with drink-driving, and was subsequently banned from driving for 18 months. He was also fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £85 in court costs.

Rangers have not commented on the incident, but the club’s fans have been left shocked and disappointed by the news.
‘It’s a huge disappointment for the club and the player,’ said one Rangers fan. ‘Sterling has been a great servant to the team this season, and it’s sad to see him involved in something like this.’
