Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday, 30 August 2026, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that swung their way before the break. The visitors went in front and held that lead at half-time, and while Dundee huffed and puffed for an equaliser after the restart, it was Hibs who found the net again to put real daylight between the sides. Dundee did pull one back, but by then the damage was done. For Dundee, it's another home game where they've come up short, and questions will be asked about how they let a two-goal cushion build up before finding any response. Hibernian, on the other hand, will be pleased with how they managed the game once ahead, taking the sort of professional, controlled win that goes a long way over the course of a season. Three points on the road, job done.
