Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

This is a list of hat-tricks scored in Scottish Premier League fixtures since the league's inception in August 1998. Former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson scored twelve hat-tricks, five more than nearest challenger Kris Boyd. Larsson, Boyd, John Hartson and Anthony Stokes are the only players to have scored more than three hat-tricks in the SPL.

Craig Burley scored the league's first treble, netting for Celtic in the opening day win over Dunfermline on 1 August 1998. The first hat-trick scored on an away ground came less than two months later, Billy Dodds scoring Dundee United's three goals in their win at St Johnstone, in his full debut for the Tannadice club.

Three matches have featured two hat-tricks in the same game. The first two came in the same week of the 1999–2000 season. Henrik Larsson and Mark Viduka both scored three goals each in Celtic's 7–0 win against Aberdeen on 16 October 1999, then Aberdeen's Robbie Winters and Motherwell's John Spencer both scored hat-tricks in a 6–5 win for Aberdeen at Fir Park four days later. Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes scored hat-tricks in Celtic's league record 9–0 win against Aberdeen on 6 November 2010.

In total, there have been 110 hat-tricks scored in the Scottish Premier League.
