    Hibernian 1-0 Dundee

    What a miss from Dundee striker Danny Mullen.

    Hibs midfielder Jake Doyle-Hayes totally sclaffs a clearance from Cammy Kerr's cross, and it drops for Mullen six yards out.

    He lashes it over the bar. Huge chance.

    Max Anderson is a player I like a lot. He has really grown into this team and he's a pivotal part of it now.

    Not much to report in the first couple of minutes of the second half.

    A Dundee cross doesn't find a blue shirt, and then Max Anderson's pass through for Danny Mullen is cut out.

    Anderson is a classy player.

    Will we see a different Dundee in the second half? They are capable going forward.

    It's not over at 1-0. James McPake will be in the dressing room telling the boys they're still in this game.

    You see the best of Nisbet when he has a big, physical partner with him. That's Hibs' best pairing up front and then you add in Boyle going down the right.

    Paul McMullan's spectacular own goal has given Hibs a deserved lead.

    Great header into the top corner.

    It's really intelligent striker play from Hibs' two up top. Nisbet reads Doidge's movement straight away, it was brilliant. That's a pattern you'll see on the training ground a lot.

  11. CLOSE!published at 45 mins

    Hibernian 1-0 Dundee

    Hibs playing 4-4-2 now after Chris Cadden's injury and they're clicking.

    Another Martin Boyle delivery is just too high for Christian Doidge.

    Dundee need the break.

  12. CLOSE!published at 44 mins

    Hibernian 1-0 Dundee

    Kevin Nisbet is prevented from putting Hibs 2-0 up by Liam Fontaine, who gets back into the six-yard box to block his shot.

    Nisbet went round the goalkeeper after a nice ball through from Christian Doidge.

    Joe Newell has a great delivery from set-pieces. He gets that little bit of sugar on the top of his crosses.

    Still Hibs in control, keeping the ball well. Martin Boyle looks sharp and nips away from Luke McCowan. Can't get a cross in, though.

    The biggest frustration for James McPake is that it came from a Dundee attack. They had a throw-in level with Hibs' box and Boyle flies up the pitch after getting the ball. Criminal.

    I really feel for McMullan there, he's aware of the danger and knows he has to get a touch. Unfortunately for him, it's a diving header into his own net.

    GOAL - Hibernian 1-0 Dundeepublished at 33 mins

    Paul McMullan (own goal)

    What a finish...

    You'll struggle to see a better penalty-box header all season. Shame it's at the wrong end from McMullan.

    Martin Boyle scampers off on the counter after a Dundee attack is cleared, and he floats a cross in for Dundee forward McMullan to head past his own goalkeeper from 12 yards.

    A good chance for a shot at goal here, as Kevin Nisbet buys a good free kick on the edge of the box.

    Ryan Sweeney the culprit. Chance Hibs...

    But Nisbet sticks it past the left-hand post. Miles away.

    Ryan Porteous and Paul McGowan exchange a few pleasantries - genuinely.

    The Hibs defender gives away a free kick moments later with a push on Danny Mullen. Luke McCowan's delivery floats straight behind for a goal kick, though.

    Frustrating.

    It's all Hibs right now, lots of possession. Yet to find the required spark up top.
