Quickest hat-rick scored by a Rangers player?

[rangers1962]

Colin Stein v Arbroath. Hat trick in 4 minutes or so. Debut too.

That first player I thought about when I seen the thread.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Missed the first goal getting in

My fault tbf haha

 

[kai-Johansen59]

Colin Stein v Arbroath, 61, 62 & 64 mins on his debut, Saturday 2 November 1968, and I was there.

I wasn’t at the Arbroath match but was at the Hibs match at Ibrox which I think was his home debut when I think he scored another hat trick.

I think there was a match (maybe Dundalk) in between when he scored twice?

In the match after Hibs, which I was at, we managed to loose 1 nil away to St Mirren. Huge crowds at away matches in those days.

Same with me BB, a hero was born that day.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Against his old team Hibs, not sure.

Was that not the game Willie Henderson also scored with a header in a 6-1 rout?

Six - one v Hibs. I think Joe McBride scored for Hibs. Like Dixie Deans, I'm pretty sure he never scored against us playing for the filth.

 

[Audubon Blue]

That’ll be tough to beat.

Out of curiosity, have you pulled that from a book. I’m fairly certain I have a book that provides info on every match after a certain period, but can’t be bothered going to get it

It's in a book called The Rangers Football Companion by David Docherty.

Details on every Rangers competitive game from the Second World to 1985-86.

Includes teams, goalscorers, time of goals, attendance, venues.......

Hard to beat but Colin Stein did !!!

Just googled Negris 5 goals, 3 were over 9 mins, not bad but not Colin Stein esq

Has any Rangers player or any player for that matter scored 6 in a game.

I don’t mean in the games with 20 odd goals in them

I can remember 5, but not 6.

Negri, Parlane, Kenny Miller I think ?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy Smith scored 6 in a game.

 

[dh1963]

Anything better than Boyd (14 mins) v Caley in 2008?

Random question I know, but popped into my head. I fully expect @dh1963 to post one by R.C Hamilton, or Jimmy Smith.

You think I'm ancient, don't you!

I see loads of replies saying Colin Stein and it's certainly the quickest hat trick that springs to mind.

An alternative question would be the earliest in a game that a Rangers player had scored 3 goals. No idea the answer, but I do remember reading about Jimmy Fleming scoring 14 goals in 2 games. He got 9 in a Scottish Cup tie v Blairgowrie then 5 the next week against Dundee. I'm sure in that second game he had scored his hat trick goal and the game had only gone 15 minutes.

 

[dh1963]

Did it twice

Davie Wilson was last to do it v Falkirk.

Jimmy Fleming holds the record with 9 in a match.

Your partner in crime suggests Jim Forrest!

Remember a Young Miller scored five.

 

[amabluestar]

Was present too.

As was I with my dad.

 

[amabluestar]

We don't need Eusebio
Cause we have Colin Stein.
Oh,,Colin,Colin Colin Stein.
Colin, Colin Stein.

 

[millar brand]

Against his old team Hibs, not sure.

I’m sure Stein’s hat trick v Hibs comprised a left foot strike, a right foot strike, and a header. The perfect hat trick.

 

[MO_TxTruBlu]

What’s the quickest from the starting team?

So from 0 to third goal?

I think Jim Forrest, though I am not 100% certain.
Scored 3 in the opening 13 mins against St Johnstone
see post #48

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Love this place for trivia like this!

You'll like this one then.

Davie Wilson scored 6 goals in a match v Falkirk (7-1). Four days later he scored a hat-trick for the Scottish League XI in a 4-3 win against the English League XI (a seriously taken annual event in its day) It was the first time in 33 years that Scotland had won that fixture on English soil.

9 goals in four days.

Missed out a Colin

Kris Boyd. At least once

Was that the one that also included the incredible volley?

Can’t remember the goals but sure he scored 5 against Dundee Utd. At least once. Not sure if both times were for us

Random and slightly oftopic, but who was the last player to get a hat-rick in Europe for us(not in a qualifying game).

Before that McCoist v Alania.

Yes, he was some goalscorer I think he had about nine hattricks for us.

The Rangers Football Companion. Fabulous book.

It ran from 1946/47 season to 1985/86. As you say a fabulous book. I’ve won many an argument after referring to it. I wish they would update it.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Missed out a Colin

No, missed out three Colin's, he started with the 2nd verse.

I've had it since 1986 it's falling apart now

I had forgotten that too, until I looked it up.
After McPherson's Hat Trick in that first leg, John McDonald scored a Hat Trick against them in the second leg at Ibrox.
Robert Fleck also got a Hat Trick 3 years later (1986) against Ilves Tampere in the UEFA Cup

I wasn’t at the Arbroath match but was at the Hibs match at Ibrox which I think was his home debut when I think he scored another hat trick.

Nope, the Dundalk game came after the Hibs game (see post #41 in this thread)

Colin Stein obviously was the shortest, though the quickest might well be Jim Forrest who scored a Hat Trick in the opening 13 mins against St Johnstone (3,11, 13) on August 29 1964 in a League Cup tie, that Rangers won 3-1.
Two weeks earlier Forrest had scored 4 goals against St Johnstone.
This was Forrest's Third Hat Trick in two weeks.
In between the two v St Johnstone, he scored three at Pittodrie in a 4-3 win on Aug 22nd.

Not Rangers related, but I believe Ian St John whilst at Motherwell recorded a Hat Trick in 150 seconds!

Correct.

Fastest hat-trick in Scottish senior game is by Tommy Bryce (QoS). He scored 4 goals v Arbroath, and three of them came in a one minute, 46 second spell.

Fastest in a non-senior (but still "official") game came when another Tommy (Ross, this time) scored three in 90 seconds for Ross County, when they were in the Highland League.

Me too, did Alex Mc Donald make his debut and score as well that day

Doddie's debut was a few weeks later against Clyde at Shawfield.
Stein scored that day in a 1-1 draw.
