Dundee improved in second half - McPakepublished at 22:31 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2021
FT: Hibernian 1-0 Dundee
Speaking to BBC Scotland Dundee boss James McPake said: “First half we were really poor. Second half it completely flipped and we were the better side. Danny Mullen had a great chance and unfortunately, he didn’t put it away. If that goes in, who knows what happens."
On Ryan Sweeney's red card he added: “The referee says he can’t tell you what he’s said, it doesn’t sit right with me. Ryan Sweeney is adamant he did not use foul or abusive language. I’m not asking to have a go at the referee but I’m asking to use that internally [to speak to Sweeney]."

Gray praises 'outstanding' Hibspublished at 22:05 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2021
FT: Hibernian 1-0 Dundee
Interim Hibernian boss David Gray gave his post-match thoughts on BBC Scotland's Sportsound.
"I'm delighted," he said after the club's second win in 11 league games.
"I thought in the first half we were outstanding. We reacted well to the disappointment of the weekend and to a man they gave me absolutely everything.
"I thought it [the own goal] was a good finish, to be honest! No, listen, Boyle was on fire and he kept putting in those balls and asking people to defend."
On injuries to Kevin Nisbet and Chris Cadden. Gray said: “They’re in getting treatment right now so we will see. They both walked off the pitch which is a good thing."

Former Hibernian manager on SportsoundQuote MessageWe all know Hibs will be underdogs on Sunday but I think that might suit them. Sometimes you don't have to re-invent the wheel, I'm quite sure it'll be the same gameplan as it was against Rangers.

John Hughes
Former Hibernian manager on SportsoundQuote MessageIt is stupid but I can understand Sweeney's frustration. The referee's being so pernickety against Dundee in the last 10 minutes, that's poor refereeing. And then he blows for full-time straight after it? Give me peace referee, a bit of common sense is required here.
FULL-TIME - Hibernian 1-0 Dundeepublished at 21:36 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2021
Paul McMullan's bizarre headed own goal the difference.
Just a second league win in 11 games for Hibs. A first clean sheet since 26 September.
Ahead of the League Cup final on Sunday, boy will they take it.

Alex Gogic has been a nuisance to Dundee since he came on. Running everything down.
Free kick Dundee now though, in the centre circle. Luke McCowan launches it into the box. But it's straight at goalkeeper Matt Macey.
Poor.
