Police issue statement after Dujon Sterling gets arrested and charged following car crash

Police issues a statement after Rangers defender Dujon Sterling gets arrested and charged following a car crash in the early hours of Sunday.

The one-vehicle crash happened on Glasgow’s West Graham Street around 1:25am on the 4th of January 2026 – hours after playing the full 90 minutes in Rangers’ 3-1 Old Firm win over Celtic at Celtic Park.

No injuries were reported, and Sterling is due to appear in court at a later date.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said to media outlets: “Around 1:25am on Sunday, 4 January, 2026, police received a report of a one-vehicle crash on West Graham Street, Glasgow.

“There were no injuries reported. The driver, a 26-year-old man, was arrested and charged in connection with road traffic offences.

“He’s expected to appear at court at a later date.”

Post-match, Sterling trolled Celtic’s under-pressure manager Wilfried Nancy on Instagram by reposting a Venn diagram the latter had previously shared.

He also trolled under-pressure Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy after the Old Firm won, reposting on his Instagram story a Venn diagram.

It showed overlapping circles for “things that matter” and “things you can control,” with the intersection labelled “what you should focus on”.

This is something Nancy had previously used as his Twitter profile picture when receiving criticism from fans.

Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy speaking to Sky Sports:

“Nothing changed. My focus is to help my players to be better, help my team, my staff to be better, and to find a way to turn things around. We are really close to doing good things, but in terms of what we consider goals, sometimes it’s difficult.

“I want to win games. We all want to win games. But this is the reality for the moment.

“I see many, many good things. That’s why the frustration is here because we deserve better and we have to stay together and everything’s going to move forward.”

Rangers boss Danny Röhl speaking to Sky Sports:

“The first half I take as my fault. More important was the reaction in the second half.

“In the first half we didn’t win enough 50-50 duels. They were stronger, they deserved to be in the lead but the reaction in the second half was outstanding.

“It was exactly what we wanted. We were aggressive, we won the ball, we were more organised. We played forward, which we didn’t do in the first half.

“I told you before, these games need stories. Today you have two good stories. The first is that we come back from 1-0 down. The second story of course, is Youssef. He scored and was outstanding.

“It’s about the next game because if we don’t deliver on Tuesday, it means nothing. It’s my job to enjoy today, enjoy the win and then be fully focused on the next one.”

@bsween41: Think that’s the overpass with the M8 20-30ft below!!!

@MichaelBarnet18: Dangerous. If he’d gone through the barrier he’d have landed on the M8

@Amaidhlouis: Thanks goodness no one was hurt

@yellows4life: hope he is alright, must have been terrifying experience just looking at the damage caused not just to his car but the barrier and the state of the road. looks like he went into it with quite some speed like, also luckily no one else was involved, could have been much more serious.

@paddleyparis: He is very lucky no one else was involved – actually shocking!

@Peterro27492429: How the fuck did he walk away from that😳….just aswell there wasn’t pedestrians going along there??
