Hogg, who made 100 appearances for his country before his retirement last year, appeared at Selkirk Sherriff Court on Monday.
Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg has pleaded guilty to one charge of domestic abuse over a five-year period against his former partner. Selkirk Sheriff Court heard Hogg's behaviour left the mother of his children scared and wishing 'for it to be morning as soon as possible'. Hogg admitted sending 200 text messages in a few hours following the breakup of his marriage, and using phone apps to track his former partner's location.
Hogg made his Scotland debut in 2012 and went on to make 100 appearances for his country, securing 171 points. He also made two appearances for the British and Irish Lions during his career. But in July last year he unexpectedly announced his immediate retirement from international rugby, having previously said he would quit after the World Cup. In a statement at the time, he said he wanted to take up a new career after retirement.
