Dujon Sterling doesn't 'fear' the fact that right-back rival James Tavernier is Rangers captain, and admits he's eager to learn from the Hall-of-Famer who introduced him to life at Ibrox.
The former Chelsea star was hit with a nightmare start to life in Glasgow when he was deemed not fit to travel to Germany for the Light Blues' pre-season training camp. Sterling, who is one of six new summer recruits for Michael Beale, did not make the trip with fellow new arrivals Kieran Dowell, Jack Butland, Cyriel Dessers, Sam Lammers and Abdallah Sima due to injury. It's a point of concern for the London boss who also lost defender Leon King with a knock this week.
But the 23-year-old reckons his previous experience of turning out for sides who aren't 'winning teams' hasn't dampened his mentality for victory at Rangers. The Englishman also isn't fazed by Tavernier's position as club captain and believes healthy competition will help his spell in Glasgow go smoothly. The 31-year-old stalwart, however, was the first to welcome Sterling to the club as he insisted full-back is his priority but that his fellow countryman had words of encouragement.
