Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg has been branded "utterly self-obsessed" and "dangerous" after a court heard that he feels "hard done by" following his domestic abuse conviction. The 32-year-old Montpellier full-back pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic abuse of his ex-wife Gillian Hogg over a five-year period when he appeared at Selkirk Sheriff Court in November last year. Hogg admitted shouting and swearing at his former partner, tracking her movements and sending her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature. While he escaped jail, in January, the former Scottish international was sentenced to a community payback order (CPO) with one year of supervision, while he was also banned from approaching or contacting Mrs Hogg for five years. A review of the CPO took place at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, with Hogg excused from attending. However, in his absence, the court heard that he felt "hard done by" over his conviction, with a sheriff urging him to "face the consequences of his actions". Admitting it was "not entirely surprising" that Hogg might feel "hard done by", Sheriff Peter Paterson said: "He is the one that pleaded guilty and he has to face the consequences of his actions and he has to move on from that." In the wake of the latest court hearing, the rugby player has been slammed by clinical psychologist Dr Mairead Tagg, who has branded him as "dangerous" and admitted there is "very little likelihood" his behaviour will change. “His attitude is so typical of serious offenders," Dr Tagg told the Scottish Sun. "He is taking no responsibility for his behaviour so there will be very little likelihood of change. “He is utterly self-obsessed and has no insight into his awful behaviour. He is dangerous. What he put his ex-partner through was shocking.” At Tuesday's hearing, Hogg's lawyer Mat Patrick told the court: "We are just shy of three months into the order and the review report confirms that he is fully complying with the appointments, there have been no missed appointments. "As far as progress is concerned, it looks like progress requires to be made but it is a 12-month order and is against the background of quite a difficult divorce which is ongoing at the moment and all the emotions that can come with that, and that has played a part. Obviously there is work to be done." Following the hearing, Sheriff Paterson fixed a further review to take place on June 16, adding: "If progress is satisfactory [Hogg] will not have to attend, but if there is any difficulty he will have to attend."
