Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg stripped of MBE


Former Glasgow Warriors fullback Hogg amassed a century of senior caps for his country and was involved in three British and Irish Lions tours.

He now plays with Montpellier and remains one of Scotland’s all-time leading try scorers and was awarded the MBE for his services to the sport.

After he admitted shouting and swearing and acting in an abusive manner towards his estranged wife there were calls to strip him of the honour.

Now his name has appeared on a list of people to have their honours taken away.

The full notice in the Gazette reads: “The King has directed that the appointment of Stuart William Hogg to be a Member of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, dated 30 December 2023 shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.”
