Rangers Star Dujon Sterling Brutally Trolls Celtic Boss Wilfried Nancy After Defeat

In a heated Old Firm derby at Celtic Park, Rangers suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to their fierce rivals Celtic, but the post-match banter has stolen the spotlight. Rangers right-back Dujon Sterling delivered a savage troll against Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy, igniting social media with his cheeky response.



The match was a tense affair, with Celtic taking the lead through Kyogo Furuhashi in the 23rd minute. Rangers fought back valiantly, equalizing via a James Tavernier penalty just before halftime. However, in the 68th minute, substitute Daizen Maeda's clinical finish secured the win for Celtic, extending their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to six points.

Sterling, who was subbed off in the 75th minute after a solid performance, didn't let the loss dampen his spirits. During the post-match celebrations, Nancy was seen jubilantly waving to the Celtic fans, prompting Sterling to post a hilarious video on Instagram. In the clip, Sterling mimics Nancy's exaggerated gestures with over-the-top flair, captioning it: "When you win against Rangers... but we all know the real story 😂💙 #OldFirm #Mental."

The post quickly went viral, amassing over 100,000 likes and shares within hours. Rangers fans flooded the comments with laughing emojis and supportive messages, dubbing Sterling the "Troll King." Celtic supporters hit back, accusing him of sour grapes, but Sterling doubled down with a follow-up story: a meme of Nancy looking smug next to a crying emoji.

This isn't the first time Sterling has engaged in on-pitch rivalry banter. Last season, he famously celebrated a Rangers win by copying a Celtic player's dance. Manager Philippe Clement praised Sterling's mindset, saying, "Dujon brings energy and fun – that's what we need to bounce back."

With the reverse fixture looming in March, tensions are sure to boil over. Sterling's troll has added extra spice, ensuring the Old Firm feud rages on and off the pitch. Rangers now focus on their next league game against Hearts, aiming to close the gap on Celtic.
