Not a shot on target to tell you about in the opening 10 minutes at Dens Park.

Hibs have dominated possession, while Dundee have really struggled to hold on to the ball.

Unsurprisingly, Josh Mulligan is jeered whenever he touches the ball. The former Dundee man not particularly popular after moving south to the capital.

Unbelievable finish from Dylan Tait, who's had a great game.

United striker Zac Sapsford is in the book for what is not his first dive in the penalty box.

Hibs win two early corners through the persistence of Martin Boyle. It feels like a long time ago that he left Dens for Easter Road, in a swap deal with Alex Harris.

Both come to naught, but Dundee are on the back foot early.

Centre-half Iurie Iovu has to hack clear from inside the United six-yard box then goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko does well to punch clear.

But United are quickly up the other end and goalscorer Max Watters fires a low drive that is easily held by goalkeeper Scott Bain at his near post.

Falkirk are immediately on the front foot again...can they mount a fightback?

And we're off at Dens Park, with Dundee in their traditional dark blue and Hibs in a blinding yellow away kit.

It's lovely, if a bit blustery. Is that the winds of change, perhaps?

It’s fair to say there is much more expectation coming from the visiting support than those of a Dundee persuasion.

The failure to qualify for the knockout stages of the League Cup was a real blow for new head coach Steven Pressley and he openly admits they are badly in need of new recruits to come in and help those already at the club.

Meanwhile, although they ultimately lost out to Midtjylland on Thursday, there was much to praise in terms of Hibs' performance. By and large, this is the same team that finished third last season, so they will be looking to continue the progress made.

The goal comes from something Falkirk do well - the run in behind from Sibbald.

Dundee United were getting in behind Falkirk too easily.

Even though you felt Falkirk were the better team, I think Dundee United were more likely to score - no surprise to me they took the lead.

Camara has been brilliant - he seems really mobile in midfield.

Hibs head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "I was quick to remind the players about the level of performance we put in over both legs [against Midtjylland]. It was a high standard.

"There was disappointment in how we lost the game, that was a blow to the players. But I reminded them that this is what it's all about - league football.

"A few players played significant minutes, but the subs that came on also did. It is only one game into the season, we're not five or six games down the line when we need to rotate.

"The expectation of the football club is rising all the time. We can't rest on the fact we did well last season. There's a lot of new managers, new players, the challenge is to keep improving. We can't believe the hype."

United are spoiling Falkirk's flag day so far.

The Bairns started at breakneck speed, determined to make a winning start to their top-flight return.

But United worked their way into the game and Max Watters' fine volleyed finish gives the visitors the lead at the break.

It's an absolutely brilliant finish into the top corner from Watters.

Although Falkirk have been the better team, it's no surprise Dundee United scored from their play over the last 15 minutes.

Almost a quickfire equaliser.

Brian Graham has his back to goal inside the United six-yard box.

The vetaran striker almost sends the ball over the line accidentally with his heel, but goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko manages to grab it from a sea of legs.

What a finish, rifled into the roof of the net.

It's from the run of Craig Sibbald.

United have settled down after Falkirk's blistering start.

The visitors probably expected the Bairns to be buoyed by the raising of the Championship flag but are taking the sting out of the game.

Dundee head coach Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "It's an enormous blow [that Simon Murray is injured]. Virtually every goal from last season has come out of the squad with Simon's absence.

"That shows you the enormity of the challenge in front of us, but we'll embrace that. It's a very difficult opening fixture against a team that are up to speed, have played some high-profile games so far, but we're looking forward to it.

"It's been hugely challenging [so far], I've not hid from that fact. We are still six players away from getting our squad together. We've got a lot of recruitment over the next four weeks to complete.

"The current group of players have been hugely receptive and worked very hard, but they also need support. Hopefully we can get them that support."
