Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee on Sunday, 30 August 2026, in a Scottish Premiership clash that swung in the visitors' favour early on. They went in ahead at the break, having taken a 1-0 lead into half-time, and looked the sharper side for large spells of the first half. Dundee had work to do after the restart and never quite found their footing until it was too late. The home side did pull one back and gave themselves something to build on, but Hibernian held firm to see out the win. It's a result that will sting for Dundee, who will feel there was more in the game for them, while Hibernian head back east with confidence and a set of points that could matter come the business end of the season.
