Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday, 30 August 2026, edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Scottish Premiership clash that swung on a strong first-half showing from the visitors. They went in at the break a goal to the good and never really let that advantage slip, even when Dundee hit back after the interval. The home side pushed hard for an equaliser once they got on the scoresheet, but Hibernian held their nerve and saw the game out. For Dundee, it's a result that stings more than most given how much of the game they had to chase. They'll point to the second-half improvement as a positive, but conceding first at home again is becoming a habit that needs sorting. Hibernian, meanwhile, will take real confidence from a gritty away win, the kind that could matter come the business end of the season.
