Footymad preview History of the Dundee v Hibernian fixture

Hibernian travel to take on Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hibees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 63 and win only 29 of the 118 games.

The last time the two teams met at Dundee was back in November 2004, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
