Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg released after arrest over alleged breach of non-harassment order

Former Scotland rugby union captain Stuart Hogg has been released without charge after being arrested over an alleged breach of a non-harassment order.

In November 2024, the 33-year-old admitted to shouting and swearing at his estranged wife Gillian Hogg, as well as tracking her movements and sending her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature.

Hogg was banned from approaching or contacting her for five years after he admitted a single charge of domestic abuse.

In January last year he was sentenced to a community payback order with one year of supervision and was also handed a five-year non-harassment order.

Hogg was arrested again on February 12 before being released without charge.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 33-year-old man was arrested in the Hawick area on Thursday February 12, 2026 in connection with a report of a breach of a non-harassment order.

"He was released without charge."

In a statement released on Instagram, Hogg stated: "I cooperated fully with enquiries with Police Scotland and left shortly after. I continue and always have respect for the legal process."

Earlier this month, Hogg was stripped of the MBE he received in the 2024 New Year Honours list for services to rugby which included captaining Scotland's rugby union team from January 2020 until October 2022.
