Hibernian Secures Scottish Premiership Win Over Dundee Amid Pressley Struggles

Kieron Bowie scored two first-half goals to lead Hibernian to a 2-1 victory over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership opener at Dens Park. Despite coming off a taxing 120-minute Europa League loss to Midtjylland, Hibs controlled much of the match and maintained their lead after Bowie’s quickfire double. Dundee, under new manager Steven Pressley, responded with a goal from Finlay Robertson but were unable to equalize. Pressley’s side had been struggling with early-season setbacks, including a disappointing Premier Sports Cup exit, and missed key captain Simon Murray due to injury. Hibs manager David Gray made minimal changes to the squad despite their recent European fixture and will head into another European challenge against Partizan Belgrade with renewed confidence. The match highlighted Hibs’ resilience and Bowie’s striking prowess as they balanced domestic and continental competitions.
