Rangers have been dealt a major setback ahead of their upcoming showdown with Livingston after both Dujon Sterling and rising midfielder Naderi were forced off with injuries in worrying scenes that have sent alarm bells ringing through Ibrox.
Sterling, who has become a key figure in Rangers’ defensive setup this season, appeared to suffer a serious leg problem after stretching to challenge for the ball. The versatile defender was left in visible pain on the turf, clutching his leg as medical staff rushed on — a moment that immediately silenced the away support.
Concerns deepened moments later when Naderi also went down following a heavy challenge, requiring treatment before being helped from the pitch. The young playmaker’s distress was clear, with Rangers staff appearing anxious as they assessed the damage on the touchline.
With a demanding fixture schedule and the title race intensifying, the prospect of losing two important squad members at once is a significant blow for manager Danny Röhl. Sterling’s physicality and tactical flexibility have been vital, while Naderi’s energy and creativity have offered Rangers fresh attacking impetus in recent weeks.
The Ibrox medical team will now race against time to determine the severity of both injuries ahead of the Livingston encounter. Early fears within the club are that at least one of the pair could face a spell on the sidelines, potentially forcing Röhl into a defensive reshuffle.
Rangers supporters will be anxiously awaiting official updates, knowing that any extended absence could impact momentum at a crucial stage of the campaign. With Livingston next on the horizon, Röhl may already be weighing contingency plans as he prepares to navigate yet another injury hurdle in a season that continues to test Rangers’ depth and resilience.
