Hibernian 0, Dundee 0, Easter Road, cinch Premiership, 30th September 2023

Dundee made several changes to their team with Jordan McGhee and Scott Tiffoney were injured, Josh Mulligan was suspended, and Zach Robinson was on the bench. Antonio Portales, Cammy Kerr, Lyall Cameron and Zak Rudden came into the starting eleven.

Dundee started well and played some neat one touch football and Zak Rudden had a good header saved by Marshall. Hibs finally came into the game and Trevor Carson had to be quick to make several saves/ 

Dundee were quick on the break with great runs from Owen Beck the main threat to the Hibernian defence with Dundee had a few efforts on goal before half time.

Second half and it looked like Hibs stepped up a gear but again Trevor Carson saved well and the defence all stuck to their tasks and defended well/ 

Dundee still hit on the break and were unlucky a few times when the ball would not fall. Hibs really went the winner in the last tens minutes but missed a few headers which they put over the bar. Then in a great brakaway Luke McCowan out paced Boyle and once clear he passed inside to substitute Ryan Howley who teed up Beck to hit a ferocious shot from 12 yards that was superbly saved by David Marshall.

A great chance gone but so  unlucky Dundee saw out the last three minutes of injury time to gain a vital point on the road.

Dundee: Carson, Portales, Shaughnessy (c), Lamie, Kerr, Cameron (Howley 87), Boateng, McCowan, Beck, Rudden (Robertson 82), Bakayoko. Unused Subs: Legzdins (gk), Pineda, Ashcroft, Robinson, Donnelly, Sylla, Lewis.
