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 their way before the break. The visitors went in ahead at half-time, having found the net once in a first half that Dundee never quite got a grip on, and that early setback proved costly for the home side as they searched for a way back into it. Dundee did find a response after the interval, pulling level at one stage, but Hibernian had the answers when it mattered and restored their advantage to see the game out. For the home crowd it's a frustrating afternoon, another game where they couldn't turn possession or pressure into a result. Hibernian, meanwhile, will head home happy with a away win that keeps them ticking along nicely early in the season.
