Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with the points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were the sharper side early on and took the lead they deserved by half-time, going in 1-0 up at the break. Dundee huffed and puffed after the restart, but Hibs looked comfortable enough for long spells and doubled their advantage before the home side found a late reply. By then it was too little, too late for Dundee. The result leaves Hibernian with the sort of away win that settles nerves early in the season, while Dundee will be frustrated at how passive they were before the interval. There's no hiding from the fact they left themselves too much to do once they went behind, and the late goal only papered over the cracks. Three points for Hibs, and plenty to work on for Dundee.
