Scottish Championship James Keatings became the first player for 43 years to score hat-tricks for both Edinburgh clubs Heart of Midlothian (in 2014) and Hibernian (in 2015). Género Zeefuik of Heart of Midlothian scored a hat-trick in a 10–0 SPFL record win against Cowdenbeath (who also suffered a joint-club record defeat) on 28 February 2015. The three-minute Zeefuik hat-trick equalled the fastest ever hat-trick scored by a Heart of Midlothian player (Andy Black in 1938) in this match too. Kenny Miller became the oldest ever Rangers player to score a hat-trick, with three goals against Dumbarton on 2 January 2016. Mickaël Antoine-Curier and Tony Andreu both scored hat-tricks for Hamilton Academical in the same match, as the club equalled an 82-year-old club record scoreline by beating Greenock Morton 10–2 on the last day of the 2013–14 season.
