Four Lads gutted as ‘Big’ Rangers news emerges from Ibrox
Four Lads Had a Dream’s Stevie Clifford has reacted to the latest news that has emerged from Rangers.
With the league a foregone conclusion, the Ibrox outfit hope to end the season strongly and try and win the UEFA Europa League.
The first leg against Athletic Bilbao was a 0-0 draw – a valiant effort by Gers – given they played most of the game with ten men and even conceded a penalty.
Dujon Sterling’s injury is a big blow – Four Lads
On Friday, 11 April, it was revealed that Dujon Sterling picked up a serious injury during the Bilbao clash.
Barry Ferguson confirmed that the Englishman will be out for the long-term after picking up an Achilles injury.
He will undergo surgery on Monday and the timeline of his return will be clearer once that’s out of the way.
Reacting to this on X, Four Lads wrote: “Just had absolutely no luck with injuries as a team or individually for Dujon himself. He was terrific last night, speedy recovery but this is a big blow.”
Rangers will undoubtedly miss Sterling’s services
Gers will keenly feel Sterling’s absence following his recent long-term injury, as his versatility and work rate are integral to the squad’s dynamics.
As a utility player, the 25-year-old seamlessly fills multiple roles – right-back, wing-back, midfielder, or even winger – offering tactical flexibility that Ferguson relies on to adapt to various match situations.
His ability to slot into different positions without compromising quality provides crucial depth, especially during a grueling season with domestic and European commitments.

Beyond his adaptability, Sterling’s relentless energy and commitment ensure he puts in a shift every game, pressing opponents, winning duels and contributing to both defensive solidity and attacking transitions.
His absence leaves a gap in the Ibrox outfit’s ability to rotate effectively or cover for injuries, potentially stretching the squad thin.
With the Europa League campaign in focus, losing a player of Sterling’s calibre, who combines grit with positional intelligence, is a significant blow to Rangers’ ambitions, underscoring his understated but vital role.
