Dujon Sterling has warned Celtic that Rangers are now hungry for trophies.
The Ibrox ace – who is emerging as a key player for Phillippe Clement’s in-form side – picked up the first silverware of his career with a Viaplay Cup winners medal. And having sampled trophy success at Hampden, Sterling says they have the appetite to plunder more this season. Rangers have clawed back Celtic’s lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table ahead of next week’s pivotal Old Firm clash at Parkhead.
They have yet to lose a single game since Clement took over, while the form of their Glasgow rivals has worsened. Sterling, who is being used in midfield by his Belgian coach, insists they are on a project to gather as many trophies as they can. This season. With his first trophy in his pocket, and the title, Scottish Cup and Europa League still to be played, the 24-year-old said: “We’re all in a happier position here now.
“There’s a smart vibe around construction and I hope it continues. Winning this first trophy means we’ll go hungry for it until the end of the season. We need to collect as many trophies as possible. Now that we have one, the ambition is to go through and get more now. “
Sterling has struggled to get playing time under former manager Michael Beale, who signed him from Chelsea in the summer. But he is thriving with Clement in the centre of the Rangers’ engine room and is expected to start today’s Premiership match against Motherwell at Fir Park. .
Sterling said: “The coach clearly played an important role, but it’s a collective of the team. We’ve accepted what he needs us to do and we’re executing it on the field. That’s why we’re still undefeated under his command.
