A SHERIFF has noted former Scotland rugby union captain Stuart Hogg's “complete compliance” with a community payback order, as he said no further review would take place.

The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse of his ex-partner, Gillian Hogg, over the course of five years.

Hogg appeared at Selkirk Sheriff Court last November.

He admitted shouting and swearing, tracking her movements and sending her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature.

Sheriff Peter Paterson sentenced Hogg to a community payback order with one year of supervision as an alternative to jail when he sentenced him in January.

The player was banned from approaching or contacting Mrs Hogg for five years.
