Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday, 30 August 2026, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that never quite settled into a rhythm. The visitors went in ahead at the break, a goal up and looking the sharper of the two sides, while Dundee struggled to find any real foothold in the game. That half-time lead proved crucial in the end, giving Hibernian something to build on after the interval. Dundee came out with more purpose in the second half and got themselves back on level terms at one stage, forcing their way into the contest and giving the home support something to shout about. But Hibernian had the answers when it mattered, restoring their advantage and holding on for a 1-2 win. For Dundee, it's a frustrating way to drop points on home turf, while Hibernian will take plenty of confidence from digging out a result on the road.
