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 Premiership clash that swung the visitors' way early. They led at the break through a goal that gave them the platform to control the game, and while Dundee huffed and puffed for an equaliser after the interval, it was Hibernian who found the net again to put real daylight between the sides. A late Dundee response got one back and set up a nervy finish, but it proved too little too late for the home side. The defeat leaves Dundee with plenty to think about after a game they'll feel slipped away from them once Hibernian got their noses in front. For the visitors, it's the kind of result that builds belief on the road, taking a 0-1 half-time lead and turning it into a 1-2 win despite Dundee's late push. Three points banked, job done, and Hibernian will head home happy with how they managed the closing stages.
