Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee on Sunday, 30 August 2026, in a Scottish Premiership clash that swung the visitors' way early on. They went in ahead at the break, having taken a 0-1 lead into half-time, and that cushion looked crucial as the home side pushed to get back into things after the interval. Dundee did find a way back into it, but couldn't find the leveller when it mattered most, and Hibernian held firm to see the game out. It's a result that will sting for the home support, who saw their team fight hard without quite doing enough, while Hibernian will take real confidence from digging out a win on the road. Three points that could matter come the business end of the season.
