Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and came away with the points, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a game that swung their way before the break. They led at half-time and never really let that advantage slip, holding firm even when Dundee threw men forward late on in search of an equaliser that never quite came. Dundee did pull one back and gave themselves something to work with, but it wasn't enough to prevent a third defeat that will sting given how the game was set up at the interval. For Hibernian, it's a result that shows character on the road, taking a slender lead into the second half and seeing it through under pressure. Dundee will need to find answers quickly, while Hibernian head home with confidence high after a hard-fought away win.
