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 a goal to the good at half-time and never really let go of that advantage, even when Dundee hit back after the interval to make things nervy. It wasn't a comfortable watch for the home support, but Hibernian showed enough composure to see it through. Dundee will feel there was more in the game for them, especially after pulling one back and pushing for an equaliser late on. But the damage was done before half-time, and that early setback proved too much to overturn. For Hibernian, it's a result that keeps their season moving in the right direction, while Dundee will need to sharpen up if they're going to turn narrow defeats like this one into points.
