A former St Johnstone footballer could be facing jail after a two-year stalking campaign against his ex-partner.
Martin Hardie terrorised Kirsty MacLeod, including climbing up a drainpipe to spy on her.
The ex-St Johnstone and Dunfermline midfielder also repeatedly turned up at Miss MacLeod’s work at Braehead shopping centre.
Shamed Hardie admitted at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a stalking charge spanning September 2012 to November last year.
The 38-year-old, of Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, was bailed and will learn his fate this month.
Prosecutors state Hardie “engaged in conduct” which left Miss MacLeod in “fear or alarm”.
The charge he pleaded guilty to included him turning up at Miss MacLeod’s flat in Mansewood, Glasgow, clambering up a drainpipe and “did watch or spy on her through a window”.
Hardie repeatedly telephoned and texted Miss MacLeod.
It is also stated he showed up at her work and “attempted to engage in conversation”.
Hardie took a photo of Miss MacLeod’s vehicle and sent it to her.
He had previously denied the allegations before admitting his guilt.
Former midfielder Hardie was a fans’ favourite at Partick Thistle before joining Kilmarnock in 2003.
The midfielder played for Dunfermline, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone and Morton during his career.
He also had two spells playing for Airdrie.
