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 on a bright start from the visitors. They went in ahead at the break, having taken the lead in the first half, and that cushion proved just enough to see them through a second period in which Dundee pushed hard for an equaliser. The home side did pull one back and gave themselves a real chance of snatching something from the game, but Hibernian held firm when it mattered. For Dundee, it's a frustrating afternoon in front of their own fans, undone by that slow start before the break. Hibernian, meanwhile, will take plenty of confidence from digging out a win on the road, even after being made to work for it late on.
