Scotland rugby star banned from contacting ex-girlfriend for 10 years after tracking her

Scotland star Rufus McLean used tracking systems on his partner’s phone and demanded passwords to her social media accounts during his period of abusive control.

McLean also left the 21-year-old victim with a burst lip and a black eye after pushing her off him, called her “a bi***” and “a sl**” and sent her abusive texts and social media messages.
