After making remarks recently about Rangers’ decline in form during a title battle with Celtic, Dujon Sterling has declared himself open to captaining the team at Ibrox in the future.
As he nears his twilight years, James Tavernier, 32, is not slowing down, but the Gers must be considering who might be the next man to don the captain’s armband.
Even though Sterling had a rough beginning to his time in Scotland, since Philippe Clement’s arrival, the former Chelsea academy graduate has only grown in popularity, and his admission will only make fans love him even more.
PLZ Soccer recorded Sterling’s remarks during a news conference on Thursday, April 18, saying, “We owe ourselves a performance as well because we’ve been [expletive] the past three games.”
“I simply believe that since the fans have gone everywhere and returned home, we should reset and do it for them as well.”

The 24-year-old’s brutally honest evaluation will be valued by the Ibrox supporters far more than the media-trained responses that most players would provide during such a situation.
With most of the team playing below average, Sterling is definitely no angel. His remarks during the championship race, nevertheless, ought to be well received by the supporters.
With a four-point differential opening up between the Old Firm rivals at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, Clement’s team has faltered just when it matters most.
