Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and left with all three points, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Premiership clash that swung on a couple of key moments. The visitors were ahead at the break thanks to a goal that gave them something to hold onto, and they came out the stronger side after the restart too. Dundee huffed and puffed but couldn't find a way back level, eventually getting a goal for their troubles too late to matter. For Hibernian, it's a result that keeps the momentum going and will settle a few nerves in the away dressing room after a tricky start to the campaign. Dundee, on the other hand, will be frustrated to have gone in behind at half-time and then failed to build on their late reply. There were positives to take from the second-half fightback, but on a day when the visitors took their chances and defended their lead, Dundee simply couldn't find an equaliser when it counted.
