The retired metal worker told police that he hid in bushes with binoculars looking in the direction of her house.
Hislop also concealed himself in bushes at Celtic Park to leer at her and fled after being pointed out to the police.
Hislop was convicted of stalking between February 2020 and June 2022 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Hislop was released from prison after trial and put on a tag for 12 months and ordered to stay 200 metres from the woman and not to enter her street.
However, Hislop was back in the dock for breaching his non-harassment order (NHO) against the woman.
He was also convicted of a further charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner against a teenage girl and a man.
Jurors heard Hislop first flouted the NHO and a court undertaking in September 2023.
Prosecutor Danielle McGuinness put to Hislop: "Why did she see you a couple of months after the NHO was put in place in bushes at the bottom of her street?"
He replied: "She has an iPhone. I pass her regularly walking her dog in my car - she watches me go up to Bridgeton where I stay.
"Why did she not take a picture if she saw me there?"
The trial earlier heard from an 18-year-old girl who also came across Hislop in the area in 2023.
She first became aware of him amid claims he put a note on her mum's windscreen at the Emirates Arena when she came to pick up her daughter.
The girl stated: "The note said she was a paedo and that I felt unsafe around my mum and that I came to him and told him this."
An allegation that he put a note on the car was found not proven by the jury.
The girl denied ever speaking to Hislop and claimed that he was a stranger to her.
She also recalled times Hislop confronted her and her boyfriend in the streets around Parkhead.
The girl stated that Hislop told them that he was "quite famous" with "young boys" in the area as he managed to get them a signed Rangers football.
His previous trial heard Hislop claimed he had a contact at Rangers who got him a signed ball from ex-player Ryan Kent for a boy he knew.
The girl stated that Hislop would "watch us" walk up a street in Parkhead while he was pulled up in his car.
The witness recalled a time when she saw Hislop knelt down in bushes near the Emirates Arena.
She said: "He got caught up in twigs...I was quite shocked. I honestly didn't think he was waiting on me and I think he was shocked that someone had noticed him."
The girl stated in another encounter that Hislop told her boyfriend that she was "not to be scared" of him.
She added that she would see Hislop driving round the street three times a day at the time.
Hislop was also convicted of repeatedly following a John Carletto in his car which included following him home.
Mr Carletto told the court that Hislop "made my life a misery" and he had to sell his car because of him.

Alan Brazil reports a Rangers murder as flabbergasted Ally McCoist slaps flops with a cutting nickname
It would have been open and shut for Poirot as Club Brugge left Russell Martin's team for dead at Ibrox Giddy Alan Brazil heard there was a murder at Ibrox so gruesome that he assumed the great Hercule Poirot must have been investigating. But bereft Ally McCoist only saw the Keystone Cops fumbling any chance Rangers had of cracking the Champions League. Agatha Christie's Belgian detective would have had to round up the witnesses who scarpered as soon as Club Brugge delivered the fatal blow just 20 minutes into Gers' playoff round first leg. They struck three times early on, although were given all the help they could have hoped for from their victims. Danilo's retaliation in the second half was merely superficial and the fear is the attacks won't stop in Belgium next week. talkSPORT host Brazil couldn't contain his glee as he pumped the Poirot theme in the studio before the post-mortem with the Ibrox club's record goalscorer began. Brazil:"Rumour has it, Poirot was at Ibrox last was a murder going on. Good morning Mr McCoist." McCoist: I went to my kip last night and I said to wee Viv 'surely he'll give me the first 15 minutes? A wee bit of peace and quiet. He'll have a bit of heart about hi, he'll show me a bit of compassion?'" Brazil:"No chance!" McCoist:"He's into me at three minutes past six. Never mind Poirot, it was the Keystone Cops that first 45 minutes! You've never seen anything like it." Brazil: "Did you go, Ally?" McCoist:"I didn't go, I watched it, but my boys were there. Mate, oh my goodness, you're 2-0 down after six minutes ten seconds or something! Have you seen the goals? Brazil:"Yeeaah! I watched the first half then went to my bed." McCost:"I thought you'd have stayed up loving it! It got to the stage I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I mean the first half defensively, jeez. What about the first goal, with the big centre-back [Nasser Djiga]? "The only thing I can think of is that he thinks [Jack] Butland is further off his line and he's coming to get it, but he breaks every rule on the planet for a centre-back by not ushering the ball back. And then the second goal, the marking is just shocking. "To be fair to Butland, the third goal is a heck of a strike on the half-volley, but even then you could argue that Danilo isn't strong enough and lets him run through him. And even then, Butland's had a few good saves you know. Brazil:"You're dead right. I thought crikey, this could be four or five if they're not careful." McCoist:"They get themselves back in the game with a good goal, and I think they're really unlucky not to get a second. In our day it's not even discussed, it's a goal all day, but I don't know what the rule is, I think it's if he's got a hand on it or something like that. I think they're a wee bit unlucky not to get a penalty after that, but well beaten." Brazil:"Can you see any way back mate?" McCoist:"On that first-half performance, they couldn't beat anybody to be honest. They came back into it in the second half, played better and you don't know how much [Brugge] have taken the foot off the pedal. "To have any chance they've got to score first, that's for sure, but even I as the eternal optimist, think it'll be a big struggle." Brazil: "There's been a text floating about, asking what does Russell Martin have in common with the Titantic? They should both never have left Southampton!"

Dons yobs who challenged Rangers fans to fight outside pub handed year-long ban
Six Aberdeen football supporters have been banned from attending all Scottish football games for a year after they marched on a pub where Rangers fans were drinking and challenged them to fight. Dons supporters Dylan Duncan, 23, Brandon Emslie, 23, Neale Ross, 36, Callum Seymour, 25, Brad Rogers, 22, and Ryan Combe, 21, appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, where they admitted conducting themselves in a disorderly manner on April 23 last year. It was stated that prior to Aberdeen FC hosting Rangers at Pittodrie Stadium, the group had been in The Scotia Bar. From there, a growing number of young men confronted Rangers supporters as they exited the Saltoun Arms, where they goaded them and challenged them to fight. While some fights did break out, none of the six were seen to be involved in any physical violence. Sheriff Ian Wallace told each of the men that their actions had put the safety of other supporters – including families – at 'risk' and stated that it was his responsibility to protect the public. He handed each of the men a ban from all professional football games for a year – and put an additional measure in place, meaning the six cannot enter certain city streets on matchdays. Fiscal depute Emma Petersen told the court that the SPFL fixture was designated an 'increased risk' and a significant amount of police resources were dedicated to ensuring order. The Saltoun Arms, on Park Street, Aberdeen, is known to host travelling supporters on matchdays. At around 2.30pm – two hours before kick-off – all six accused were within the Scotia Bar drinking and socialising with a large group of Dons supporters. As they exited the bar, many of their faces were covered – albeit not the accused – and most wore black outfits. The group moved off as a collective, with some shouting 'keep together', 'keep close' and 'keep on the same side of the pavement'. The police had concerns about the group's direction of travel and made attempts to block their movement. They managed to successfully block the Aberdeen supporters from entering Park Street, but the group turned and ran as a collective through a nearby lane onto Park Place and made it to Park Street. Numerous police resources were deployed to the area to meet the supporters as they arrived outside the Saltoun Arms. By this time, there were more Aberdeen supporters than just the group who left the Scotia Bar together. As they arrived, a large number of Rangers supporters exited the Saltoun Arms. The two groups of supporters goaded each other, and challenges to fight were made. The police eventually managed to separate the groups. A short time later, a group of Aberdeen supporters – including the six accused – ran as a collective along Constitution Street and Rangers supporters ran as a collective along Wales Street. As they came together on South Constitution Street, some Aberdeen and Rangers supporters engaged in a physical fight. None of the accused was seen engaging in physical violence. More than 30 police officers were deployed to the area due to the disorder. Shortly after, the six accused were seen on CCTV returning to the Scotia Bar with other members of the group who had left at the same time. In the dock, Duncan, Emslie, Ross, Seymour, Rogers and Combe pleaded guilty to one charge of causing a breach of the peace. Defence solicitor Michael Horsman told the court that Duncan 'admitted becoming involved in the behaviour' and had been involved in challenging Rangers fans to a fight but was 'not involved in any violence'. Jenny Logan, lawyer for Emslie, stated that her then-21-year-old client's actions that day were down to 'immaturity'. 'He accepts his involvement and takes responsibility for what happened,' she added. George Mathers, Ross's defence solicitor, said his client was not seen to challenge anyone to a fight but was part of the group who marched to the Saltoun Arms. 'He was present at various places where there was trouble,' Mr Mathers conceded, adding: 'But he doesn't challenge anyone.' Defence solicitor for Seymour, Liam McAllister, claimed that any football banning order imposed by the court would have a 'disproportionate impact' on his client, stating that, as part of his bail conditions, he has not been able to attend any football games for more than 600 days. 'This incident has caused Mr Seymour great embarrassment and shame,' he added. Iain Jane, defence solicitor for Rogers, said his client was able to be 'tracked on CCTV as part of this mob' and said that when the group began to disperse, he 'disassociated himself' and went back to the Scotia Bar. 'At no point is he seen to shout or gesticulate,' Mr Jane said. Combe's solicitor, Kevin Longino, told the court that his client had been drinking that day and had shown a 'level of immaturity' at the time of the incident. He said Combe had since stopped drinking alcohol and had 'settled down since then'. However, it was subsequently revealed that Combe had previously been made subject to two football banning orders. Sentencing the group, Sheriff Ian Wallace told them they had left the Scotia Bar that day 'fully intending' to meet up with Rangers supporters and 'challenge them to a fight'. 'The intentions of the group were obvious, and the high risk was clear,' he said. 'You did not just put yourself at risk, you put other supporters, including young families going to the match, at risk. 'The court has a responsibility to protect the public.' As an alternative to a prison sentence, Sheriff Wallace made all six men subject to a community payback order with supervision for 12 months and ordered them to each carry out 150 hours of unpaid work. He also put a football banning order in place, meaning all six accused cannot attend any Scottish football match for the next 12 months.

Defiant Russell Martin says two mad moments cost Rangers against Club Brugge but Champions League dream isn't over
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RUSSELL MARTIN says Rangers paid the price for 'two mad moments' - but refused to write off their Champions League dream. Club Brugge scored three goals inside the first 20 minutes at Ibrox as jittery Gers blew their chance at a £40million jackpot. 4 Russell Martin and players walking off at full-time Credit: PA 4 Dejected Rangers players applaud fans after final whistle Credit: Getty 4 Russell Martin insists they are still in it Credit: PA A horror mix-up between Nasser Djiga and keeper Jack Butland gifted Romeo Vermant the opener before Jorne Spileers and Brandon Mechele scored. Danilo reduced the deficit and Djeidi Gassama had one ruled out by VAR - but boss Martin believes Gers can fight back. He said: 'We had two mad moments with the goals we conceded early. 'It changed the whole feeling of the game and made so many of our decisions anxious. 'We needed to react better to the goals going in but it was a really difficult time for the guys on the pitch. 'We conceded again because the anxiety in the group was big. 'But I was really proud of the second half performance and the tie is not over. 'We showed aggression, composure and resilience in the second half. The energy was completely different. 'I was really proud of the team in the second half and I enjoyed the performance. 'It was as hard as it will ever be for those lads - but the group will grow from that.' Scots tycoon who led Rangers takeover bid jailed in Dubai over £1m fraud claim Jailed in Dubai Over £1 Million Gold Fraud Furious Gers fans poured out of Ibrox at 3-0 down and there were jeers at the half-time and full-time whistles. But Martin wants the supporters to stay onside ahead of a crucial run of games before the end of this month. He added: 'They are all entitled to their opinion, although we will need them so much. 'The club has had a long period, bar one season, when it's not been as successful as it wants to be. 'We need to come together. After the second-half performance, I hope they go away thinking this tie is not over. 'The pre-cursor to change is pain. I knew there would be pain early on. 'We have to make sure that the pain is worth it. 'The players' response has given me new energy about what's to come. 'We will do everything we can next week to win the game and qualify for the Champions League. 'All of us inside the building need to be really strong and continue with the plan. 'The club has bounced about with many plans that have not worked. 'The level of resilience the team showed in the second half will help us grow a lot. I believe that. 'We are now in the position of hunting and chasing next week. I'm going to enjoy that and I think the players will as well.' 4 Gers scorer Danilo said: 'We will keep fighting to turn everything round.' Brugge boss Nicky Hayen agreed the tie is not over - despite his side's commanding performance. He said: 'When there are still 90 minutes to go, anything is possible. 'We embraced the atmosphere and we were very clever and intelligent. 'We knew where the spaces were and we executed our plan perfectly.'
