Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday, 30 August 2026, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that took a while to catch fire. The visitors went in ahead at the break, having found the breakthrough to lead 0-1 at half-time, and looked the more assured side for long spells without ever fully shutting the door on their hosts. Dundee came out with more purpose after the interval and got themselves back into the contest, but Hibernian had the answers when it mattered and restored their two-goal cushion before the home side's late fightback fell just short. It finished 1-2, a result that keeps Hibernian's early-season form ticking along nicely while Dundee will feel there were points on offer they let slip on home turf.
