List of Scotland national football team hat-tricks

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa   (talk)  18:52, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

After randomly coming across the FL List of England national football team hat-tricks, I checked to see if there was a Scottish article and there was - I've changed it to match the formatting on the England FL, expanded the prose section and added the conceded section. Hit a problem image-wise as there simply doesn't seem to be much in the way of free use images available for Scottish players listed (in fact, there isn't a single one).

Oppose until a few issues are solved:


 * no reference provided that these 29 are the only 3 or more goals scored
 * same for those scored against (I am suspicious that the list is so short)
 * There isn't a specific reference to say either - essentially I went through the entire list of Scotland results to double check and collate the article. I've added a general reference for the index page of the website, but in order to place an inline citation for either of those comments on the tables below, I'd have to insert 21 seperate citations for each (as the information is spread across 21 seperate webpages).

 * An fairly elegant solution would be to use something like that at List_of_Metallica_concert_tours. Nergaal (talk) 21:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've implemented a similar solution. Miyagawa   (talk)  22:03, 14 April 2011 (UTC)


 * color scheme needed for 4 goals and for the instance where Scotland actually lost (really rare to score a hat-trick and still lose
 * Its only happened once, in the 3-4 defeat against Norway on 4 June 1963. Would a note be more appropriate as it's a single occurance? Miyagawa   (talk)  12:18, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note as I realized I missed it - I've added a color scheme for 4 goals. Miyagawa   (talk)  12:04, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


 * a hat-trick is 3 goals, not more
 * Fixed. Miyagawa   (talk)  12:18, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
