Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday, 30 August 2026, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that didn't fully open up until the second half. The visitors had gone in ahead at the break, a single goal enough to separate the sides at half-time, and they carried that control into the second period. Dundee huffed and puffed but couldn't find a way through until it was almost too late. The home side did pull one back and gave themselves a real go at snatching something from the game, but Hibernian held their nerve and restored their two-goal cushion before the final whistle to seal it. For Dundee, it's another home game without a win to show for it, and questions will linger about their inability to see out matches at this level. Hibernian, meanwhile, will take real confidence from grinding out a result on the road.
