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 on. They led at the break through a goal that gave them control of the game, and while Dundee huffed and puffed for an equaliser, it was Hibs who looked the sharper side for long spells. The home crowd had little to shout about until late in the piece.

The result leaves Dundee with plenty to work on before their next outing, while Hibs will head back east buoyed by a away win that shows real character. Three points on the road at Dens Park is never easy to come by, and this one should give the visiting squad a genuine lift.
