Dujon Sterling does something 'incredible' at Rangers after Ibrox injury nightmare
Dujon Sterling has been reborn at Rangers under Derek McInnes.
The English right-back has been influential for the Gers this season, forming impressive partnerships with Emmanuel Fernandez and Olwethu Makhanya.
With the Scottish manager asking the former Chelsea defender to tuck in with the two centre-backs against Celtic, fans in G51 are now seeing the best of him.
Sterling has suffered multiple injuries at Ibrox but seems to have found more consistency since McInnes' arrival.
Over the last few years, whenever the 26-year-old looked set to cement his place in the starting lineup, fitness issues derailed his progress.
The right-back is now enjoying a fruitful spell at the Govan side, which has delighted Derek Ferguson.
What Derek Ferguson says about Dujon Sterling development at Rangers
Sterling's qualities at Rangers are evident and he's probably one of the best at one-on-one defending in Scotland.
In April 2025, the right-back picked up an achilles injury, and last season he made just 17 appearances in all competitions.
Ferguson feared for the Englishman after his fitness issues, but he has already started 11 games for the Govan side in the current campaign.
The fact that the Glaswegian outfit aren't playing in Europe may also help with managing the loan on the right-back.
Speaking on Open Goal on 24 September, Ferguson said, "You look at Sterling, see the injury he has come back from and it's incredible because that can sometimes be a career-ending injury.
"He has come back and looks unbelievable. But it's suiting him because it's only one game a week."
Why Ibrox summer signing's career already looks over
Sterling has staked his claim at right-back, leaving Kosta Nedeljkovic to fight for regular minutes.
The former Aston Villa defender will need to impress McInnes, but can provide decent cover for the Englishman when needed.
As for Ross McCrorie, he may already be questioning things.
The former Bristol City right-back returned to his boyhood club to play under a manager he has played for previously at Aberdeen.
McCrorie's arrival seemed like a no-brainer at the start of the summer, but his prospects at the Govan side look bleak.
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Scotland international demand an exit from the Glaswegian outfit as early as January, as he's clearly behind Sterling and Nedeljkovic in the pecking order.
