“On 13 September, Andrew Tod scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline v Arbroath,” notes Ian Golightly. “His father, Andy Tod, scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline v Dundee on 1 January 2005. Are there any other examples of a father and son who have scored a hat-trick for the same club?”

You would only need to travel about 18 miles for the first example. “After many years enjoying the feature I may finally have something to add involving my beloved Hibernian,” writes Rory Macpherson. “Gary Murray scored a hat-trick against Clydebank in 1981 with his son Simon Murray hitting another against Arbroath in 2017.”
