Congrats to Kris Boyd.

But was a second record set? Was this also the best score by a team down to ten men?

I suppose it is possible there have been games when one side has been winning by a barrowload and had a man sent off near the end.

Two records he can claim:

First player to score five goals in a single game in the Premier Division/SPL on two occasions.

First player to score five goals in a single Premier/SPL game for two different clubs.

I'm sure leatherstocking will correct me if I'm wrong but I make that five times a player has scored five goals in a Premier/SPL game and on three of those occasions the team on the receiving end has been Dundee United - Marco Negri for Rangers Aug 23rd 1997, Kris Boyd for Kilmarnock v Dundee United Sep 25th 2004 (should have been six) & again for Rangers v Dundee United Dec 30th 2009.

The others are Paul Sturrock for Dundee United v Morton Nov 17th 1984 & Kenny Miller for Rangers v St Mirren Nov 4th 2000.

You`re right.

I once played a Sunday league match against the Haymakers - hardest pub team in Cambridge - we didn't get in their way too much and before long they were 8-0 up. Two of their forwards had a swedge at each other over a missed chance and the ref sent both of them off. Finished 10-2.

Does that count?

Is that not a bit like claiming to be the sanest person in Broadmoor?

They certainly wouldn't go far in Easterhouse but it's not all jessie undergrads down there you know.

I've just been told that they are. Mind you, that was by my Oxford-born wife.

Was at a Airdrieonians v Meadowbank game (March 85), it ended up 5-3 to Meadowbank I'm sure Airdrie were winning at the time when Meadowbank got a couple of players sent off and they still went on to win the match, anyone got more details on that match ?
