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 the visitors' way early. They led 0-1 at half-time and never really let go of that advantage, adding a second before Dundee pulled one back too late to matter. The home crowd had chances to get behind their team but the breaks kept falling for Hibernian. For Dundee, it's another home game where the scoreline doesn't reflect the effort put in, and they'll be frustrated at falling behind before the break yet again. Hibernian, meanwhile, will take real confidence from grinding out a result away from home rather than relying on a big performance. The 1-2 win keeps them moving nicely up the table, while Dundee will need to find answers fast if they're not going to keep dropping points at Dens Park.
