HOGG IN COURT AFTER SENDING HIS WIFE 'ABUSIVE' MESSAGES

Scotland rugby star is warned over texts

- ROBERT FAIRBURN

FORMER Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg has admitted breaching a court order not to have any contact with his estranged wife by sending her "unpleasant" text messages.

The 32-year-old appeared at Jedburgh Sheriff Court after spending a night in police cells.

He pled guilty to repeatedly contacting Gillian Hogg when a court order was in place prohibiting him from doing so.

Sentence was deferred on Scotland's leading all-time try scorer until the outcome of his domestic abuse trial this month. This includes a charge of stalking and controlling behaviour towards his wife over seven years.
