Shamed Scotland rugby star dodges jail term after abusing girlfriend for two years
A shamed Scotland rugby star has escaped a jail term after being convicted of abusing his girlfriend.
But Sheriff Matthew Auchincloss said there were alternatives to custody available and imposed 120 hours of community service. He added: “But given the extended period of time, and the nature of the behaviour, you were reckless about whether harm would have been caused.” McLean wasn’t placed in the Caledonian men’s programme, which tries to address domestic offending, as he had already carried out “equivalent” counselling work making it unnecessary, the sheriff added.
In January 2021, the couple were at McLean’s Glasgow flat when she woke him up to talk. McLean pushed her off him, causing her lip to be burst and a black eye to appear. She was left “frightened” by the incident and took photos of her injuries to show her mum.
