McShane pleaded guilty to two offences of sending offensive communications in 2019 and 2020 when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month.
He returned to the dock for sentencing to be told by a sheriff his actions were “frankly horrible”.
Sheriff Robert Fife sentenced McShane to complete 300 hours of unpaid work and placed him under the supervision of the social work department for the next 15 months.

He was said to have threatened a clinical psychologist by making comments about “killing [the doctor] and sexually molesting her body”.
McShane also made shocking comments to hospital staff where he “made reference to mass murder” and threatened to self harm.
A further call was made the following month that saw McShane threaten staff he “was going to come up [to the hospital] and stab every woman in their vagina”.

Further calls on the same day saw McShane label one staff member as “a disabled freak” and stated he was being “pushed towards a killing spree”.
Serial offender McShane also sent abusive text messages to a social worker the following year describing the man as “a lying c***” and stating he “deserved to be blown up and deserved to be raped”.
