Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and came away with all three points, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that swung on a couple of key moments in each half. The visitors had the better of the first period and deservedly went in ahead at the break, leading 0-1 at half-time. Dundee huffed and puffed without really testing their opponents until later on. The home side came out with more urgency after the interval and got themselves level, setting up a nervy finish. But Hibernian held their nerve, found a second goal, and saw the game out to make it 1-2 on the road. For Dundee, it's another home game without a win to show for it, while Hibernian will head back down the road buoyed by a result that keeps them ticking along nicely in the early weeks of the season.
