Former Scotland rugby union captain Stuart Hogg has avoided jail after abusing his now estranged wife over the course of five years.
Hogg – who plays for French club Montpellier and was made an MBE for services to the sport in last year’s new year honours list – previously pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse of his ex-partner, Gillian Hogg, when he appeared at Selkirk Sheriff Court on 4 November.
