Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday, 30 August 2026, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that took a while to properly ignite. The visitors went in ahead at the break, a single goal enough to separate the sides at half-time, and they controlled the tempo when it mattered most. Dundee huffed and puffed without ever quite forcing parity in that first period, and the away side's discipline paid off. The second half brought more life to proceedings. Hibernian doubled their advantage and looked to be cruising, only for Dundee to pull one back and set up a nervy finish. It wasn't enough, though, as the visitors held on for a 1-2 win. For Dundee, there are positives to take from the fightback, but two dropped points at home will sting. Hibernian, meanwhile, will head home happy with a hard-fought away victory.
