Dundee 1, Hibernian 2, Dens Park, William Hill Premiership, 03-August-25

Dundee started with news that Simon Murray was out today, and replaced by Ash Hay. Ryan Astley, Ethan Ingram, Paul Digby, and Fin Robertson, who came on as substitutes against last week, retained their places with Plamen Galabov, Drey Wright, Cesar Garza, and Tony Yogane switching to the bench.

The visitors were Hibernian who finished the season well, so it will be a tough game for the dark blues.

Both teams struggled in the first 30 minutes, with Hibs having a lot of the ball. But not causing a solid looking dee defence any bother.

But that changed in a three minute spell when Hibs scored twice to take control of the game, The second one was poor from Dundee.

But at least Dundee hit back to score when Finlay Robertson scored with a fine finish after good play and pass from Ash Hay to give Dundee fans some much needed hope for the second half.

Second half and both teams struggled to get going. It was the story of the game, Hibs were not great but better than Dundee who struggled in Midfield and upfront.

Next up is a trip to Ibrox so all the pressure are on the home team.
