Former Scotland rugby international Stuart Hogg has admitted abusing his estranged wife over the course of five years.
The 32-year-old was due to stand trial at Selkirk Sheriff Court on Monday but pleaded guilty to a single charge when he appeared at the court.
The father-of-four arrived at Selkirk Sheriff Court accompanied by his parents and admitted a single charge of domestic abuse against his estranged wife, Gillian Hogg, between 2019 and 2024.
The ex-Scotland captain, who plays for French club Montpellier, will be sentenced on December 5 at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
