Brian McPhee scored 4 for Queen's Park in a 5-5 draw at East Fife on 13 November 1993

Going back a bit further, Hunter Devine scored a first half hat trick to put Queen's 4-1 up in a Division One match against Rangers at Hampden in April 1957, Queen's eventually losing 4-6.

I have fairly comprehensive data on hat-tricks, although there are currently around 2000 games, mostly pre-WWI, where it's possible a player scored a hat-trick (ie a team scored 3 or more goals) but I haven't found complete goalscorer information. If anyone is at a loose end and thinks they can help with any of those, I've put these "missing" games here.

For the potential East Fife hat-tricks you can add the following, and discard the rest. 

19.9.1925 Bathgate (a) Jimmy Nairn scored 4

3.1.1938 Montrose (h) Eddie McLeod scored 3

25.3.1939 St Bernard's (h) Tommy Adams scored 3 (1 pen) 

30.10.1948 Raith (a) Henry Morris scored 3

10.12.1960 East Stirlingshire (h) Bobby McPhee scored 4

9.9.1961 Alloa Athletic (h) Ian Stewart scored 3

26.9.1964 Alloa Athletic (a) George Christie scored 3

Pre war would not have been considered a hattrick unless player scored 3 in a row

Thanks a lot for this - that is incredibly helpful.

For United

Ian Mitchell in a 6-3 defeat to Airdrie in 1970

Jim Irvine 5-4 defeat to Celtic in 1963

Tommy McLeod 3 -3 Stenhousemuir 1960

Willie MacDonald 5-3 Stirling Albion 1958

Peter McKay 4 -3 Stenhousemuir 1953

Peter McKay 3-3 Arbroath 1949

Peter McKay 4-3 Kilmarnock 1949

I got bored at this point so didn't do pre war but most games finished about 7-5 in those days.

It happens more often than you'd think. Here are all the ones in major competitions involving Scottish teams since 2010 (note that I may have missed some more recent ones because I've been a bit sloppy in updating this over the last year or so).

You can remove the Dom Thomas entry on 23/02/19 as Dumbarton were the winners in that game.  On a separate note, Hughie Gallacher scored four for Dumbarton at Gayfield on 8 November 1958 in a 5-4 defeat. Incidentally, Dave Easson scored all five of Arbroath's goals as well.

This brings back one of my earliest memories of seeing football on television. It was Hearts v Celtic on Sportscene or Scotsport with Willie Gibson scoring 3 in vain as Hearts lost 3-4 at Tynecastle. 

Just looked it up on line and it was 1976. I would just have turned 5 so not overly familiar with players of that era but I've a remembered the name ever since.

Peter didn't have a lot of luck, did he.

To score one hat trick and not win could be considered unfortunate, to score 3 is carelessness...

So although it's not THAT rare, the instance in the post at the start, the 4-4 game with St. Mirren and Falkirk, that must be exceptionally rare that two players get a hat-trick in the same match and neither of them win.

For Ross County:

Line 2830: Alloa 1 Ross County 3 - Gary Campbell, Alan Duff, Barry Wilson

Line 2833: Ross County 3 Gala Fairydean 0 - Gordon Connolly (2), Cammy Robertson

I have a home made booklet that a County stats guy made of County in the Scottish Cup that should have the other seven matches.  Will dig it out at the weekend.

Thanks for these - I have deleted both from my "unsure" list.

He scored 21 hatricks in 6 years so bound to be a few blips.

Must have been annoying all the same. Usually if a team scores 3 they win, never mind a player.
