Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and came away with the points, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Premiership clash that swung their way early and never really got away from them. The visitors led at the break thanks to a first-half goal, and that cushion looked crucial as Dundee huffed and puffed without finding a way through until deep into the second period. The home side eventually pulled one back to set up a nervy finish, but Hibernian held firm and saw the game out. It's a result that will sting for Dundee, who had chances to salvage something after going behind and simply couldn't find the second goal to level things up. For Hibernian, three away points on the road are exactly what they'll have wanted at this stage of the season, and they'll head home happy with the way they managed the closing stages once Dundee threw men forward.
