Stuart Hogg teases shock rugby COMEBACK ahead of court ...
STUART HOGG has been spotted relaxing in Turkey with new girlfriend Leonna Mayor ahead of his court appearance next week.
The former Scotland rugby star faces a stalking charge which alleges he engaged in a course of conduct that caused fear and alarm.
Hogg, 31, is also charged under section one of the Domestic Abuse Scotland Act which alleges he was abusive to his wife Gillian.
The couple have been separated for months but have four children together.
Hogg will face a third charge of failing to comply with an undertaking when he appears at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday. He had been arrested on February 25 after an alleged incident at his former partner's home in Hawick.
But his mind is elsewhere right now as he suns it up in Turkey with new partner Leonna.

Not only that, the former Scotland captain has teased a possible COMEBACK to the sport he retired from just before the Rugby World Cup last year.
Sky Sports presenter Leonna, who specialises in horse racing after a former career as a jockey, shared images of the couple's recent holiday on her Instagram account.
The pair can be seen relaxing a boat cruise, sunbathing on the beach and enjoying a bit of water skiing.
Leonna posted: "A week off work can mean only one thing. I don’t know about you lot but I struggle a bit in the winter with feeling down and the old broken bones/injuries ache. A good dose of relaxing and vitamins from the sun and the sea is just the ticket if you can."

For the ex-Glasgow Warriors and Exeter Chiefs full-back, the holiday snaps led to Hogg being teased into a possible return to the game.
He previously said on the The Big Jim Show podcast: "Will I play professionally again? Probably not.
"Could I have taken a sabbatical? Maybe I could have...
"But the decision now is that I am retired and I stand by that. Physically and mentally I wasn’t there.
"I think I’ll play [but] I don’t think I’ll play professional. I might have a little run-out for Hawick next season and see how that goes."
And when rugby website Ruck posted a story of him on holiday saying he looked in "incredible shape" ahead of a possible comeback, Hogg said: "Awesome, who's signing me up then? I'm keen, 100 percent."
Hogg has been working as a pundit since hanging up his boots.
