Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and came away with the points, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Premiership clash that swung on a couple of key moments either side of the break. The visitors went in ahead at half-time, having found a way through a Dundee side that looked organised but couldn't quite keep them out. That single goal set the tone for the second half. Dundee came out with more purpose after the restart and got themselves back into it, but Hibernian had the answers when it mattered, adding a second to settle things at 1-2. The home crowd will feel there was enough in their side's performance to take something from the game, but Dundee will need to sharpen up defensively if they're to avoid similar frustrations. For Hibernian, it's another away day where they've shown they can grind out a result when it isn't pretty.
