  1. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Ooft, Dundee goalkeeper Adam Legzdins slices an awkward back pass behind for a corner.

    Martin Boyle swings it in, and Liam Fontaine clears. Dundee deal with the next one, too.

  2. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Rory Loy
    Former Rangers & Dunfermline forward

    Nisbet will probably be quite happy to have Doidge up next to him. He can share the workload instead of being up there himself.

  3. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Concern for Hibernian as Chris Cadden hits the deck. Looks like a knee injury.

    Christian Doidge is coming on. Martin Boyle might have to drop back to wing-back, with Doidge up top with Nisbet?

    We shall see.

  4. CLOSE!

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Paul McMullan whips in a far better free kick this time, and Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet leaves it at the front post.

    Fortunately for him, it skips up off the turf and into Matt Macey's arms.

    That might have been costly for Hibs.

  5. 'Dundee are starting to play now'

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    John Hughes
    Former Hibernian manager on Sportsound

    You can see Dundee are now starting the play their game in Hibs's half now. They could have had a real chance if they played a better cross in there.

  6. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Dundee's Cammy Kerr makes a great run down the right and Paul McMullan slips him in.

    Paul Hanlon gets over to shut down his cross, which was crucial as Ryan Sweeney was waiting for a tap in.

  7. CLOSE!

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Paul McGowan forces Hibs goalkeeper Matt Macey into a decent save.

    A poor free kick from Paul McMullan is cleared by Joe Newell but only to the feet of the Dundee midfielder, who strikes the bouncing ball goalward.

    Good stop, though.

  8. PENALTY APPEAL

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Ryan Porteous is screaming for a penalty.

    The Hibs defender was attacking the ball from a corner and hit the deck under pressure from a blue shirt. Probably would have been extremely soft.

    Plus, the corner it came from should never have been a corner.

  9. Boyle causing problems

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    John Hughes
    Former Hibernian manager on Sportsound

    Every time Boyle gets the ball he wants to get at the Dundee defence. He's a hard player to play against and his delivery has got much, much better over the years.

  10. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Rory Loy
    Former Rangers & Dunfermline forward

    It has certainly been a tough start for Dundee's central defenders tonight.

  11. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Martin Boyle has been lively so far.

    He drives down the right and whips in a cross for Paul Hanlon, who heads wide.

  12. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Martin Boyle gets away from Liam Fontaine this time and the Dundee defender has hauled him down.

    He's a tad fortunate not to join his defensive partner Ryan Sweeney into the book!

  13. YELLOW CARD

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Not a great start for Dundee centre-back Ryan Sweeney who goes into the book for a trip on Martin Boyle.

    Paul McGinn's header is then straight at Adam Legzdins.

  14. Can Nisbet & Boyle come to party?

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    Hibernian's two key attackers - Martin Boyle and Kevin Nisbet - had only 25 touches of the ball between them in the 1-1 draw at St Mirren on Saturday.

    The touch map below shows very few of them were in dangerous positions in the box.

    That will likely have to change tonight if they want an improved attacking display.

  15. Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    A decent opening for Hibs as Chris Cadden finds Josh Campbell in the box, but the midfielder miscues his shot.

  16. KICK-OFF

    Hibernian 0-0 Dundee

    We're under way at Easter Road!

  17. McCowan & McMullan key for Dundee

    Hibernian v Dundee (19:45)

    Luke McCowan grabbed two goals against Ross County on Saturday, and had more shots than anyone on the pitch, as well as winning the ball back for Dundee more than any of his team-mates.

    The 24-year-old, along with Paul McMullan, will look to ignite Dundee's attack tonight.

    McMullan put in a staggering 14 crosses at the weekend, and also made four key passes while getting in the second-most passes and touches in his side.

    Influential.

  18. Dees aiming to recapture best

    Hibernian v Dundee (19:45)

    Dundee were on a good run recently, beating St Mirren, Motherwell and St Johnstone amid defeats by Celtic and Rangers.

    The loss to Ross County on Saturday was disappointing, though, and means they are just two points off the bottom, having also played a game more than both County and St Johnstone below them.

  19. Style of play important

    Whoever it is that comes in will be coming into a great club. For me first and foremost, it's the vision. It's how they're going to play football going forward and not just in the first team but right throughout the club. Attacking football with good ball retention.

  20. Dundee's Easter Road hoodoo

    Hibernian v Dundee (19:45)

    Dundee's last win at Easter Road? 27 October 2001.

    Gavin Rae and Steven Milne scored the goals in a 2-1 win, with Craig Brewster scoring for Hibs.

    It's zero wins in 14 attempts since. Will tonight be the night?

    Their last win against Hibs at any venue came in 2013 - with current Dundee striker Leigh Griffiths scoring the consolation for the Leith side in a 3-1 loss at Dens.
