Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and left with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were ahead at the break, having taken a slender 0-1 lead into the interval, and looked the sharper side for long spells. Dundee were left chasing the game and never quite managed to get a proper foothold before the break. The home side came out with more purpose after half-time and pulled level, setting up a nervy finish, but Hibernian found a second goal to restore their advantage and see the game out. It's a result that will sting for Dundee, who will feel they had enough spells in the game to take something from it. For Hibernian, it's a solid away win to build on, while Dundee will need to find answers quickly to avoid this becoming a pattern.
