Rugby

Former Scotland rugby union captain Stuart Hogg has pleaded guilty to a domestic abuse charge against his estranged wife, court officials confirmed.

Hogg, 32, appeared at Selkirk Sheriff Court where he admitted a single charge of domestic abuse between 2019 and 2024.

The charge to which Hogg pleaded guilty stated that he repeatedly acted in an abusive manner towards his wife, tracked her movements and sent her “messages of an alarming and distressing nature.”

British media reported Hogg will be sentenced on Dec. 5.

Hogg, who made his Scotland debut in 2012, was capped by his country 100 times and represented Scotland at two World Cups. He also made two appearances for the British & Irish Lions.

He announced his retirement from rugby ahead of last year’s World Cup.
