Ok, within the Scottish football leagues (SPL, 1st , 2nd and 3rd division) there are three teams with body parts in their name.

Name them. (And -----FOOTball club doesnt count!)

You're a fast typer UP!

Right, in a shocking breach of protocol, I'm just going to ask another footie question.

Name a football club with 5 R's in the name?

EDIT: in fact, just in case that ones a bit tough (clue, they're not in the league):

What was unusual about Alvin Martin's hat trick for West Ham against Newcastle in 1986?
