Hibernian made the trip to Dens Park on Sunday, 30 August 2026 and came away with all three points, edging Dundee 1-2 in a Premiership clash that swung on a couple of key moments. The visitors were ahead at the break thanks to a goal that gave them something to hold onto, and it proved just enough cushion once Dundee came out fighting after the interval. The home side huffed and puffed, got themselves back into it, but couldn't find a leveller before Hibs made the game safe. For Dundee, there'll be frustration at falling behind so early and never quite recovering the lost ground, even with a battling second-half response. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take plenty from a gritty away performance where they did just enough to see the job through. It's the kind of result that won't be remembered for its quality, but three points on the road are three points on the road, and Hibs will happily take it.
