Rangers footballer Dujon Sterling in court charged with drink-driving
The 26-year-old is accused of driving at 60 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, nearly three times the legal limit.
- On Wednesday, Rangers footballer Dujon Sterling appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court facing two road traffic charges stemming from a January 4 incident in Glasgow city centre.
- Prosecutors allege Sterling drove a Mercedes Amg Gle 63 at "excessive speeds" on city roads while carrying 60 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, nearly three times the 22 microgramme legal limit.
- Defense lawyer Michael Lyon requested the court lift a bail condition preventing Sterling from driving, stating: "There was an additional bail condition that prevents him from driving and I ask that be lifted." Sheriff Jonathan Guy granted the motion.
- Sterling did not enter a plea during Wednesday's hearing, and Sheriff Guy continued the case to a further hearing scheduled for May 5 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
- Court documents allege Sterling lost control of his vehicle, damaging a barrier and his car, after failing to use indicators and overtaking vehicles unsafely one day after Rangers won 3-1.
