That Hibs had progressed as far as October without losing a league match was something to celebrate. On the other hand, they were repeating last season's feat of defeating the league champions one week (in this case a 2-0 victory over Celtic at Easter Road), and capitulating to some also-rans the next.

Note the first Dundee goal by former prolific Hibs scorer Gordon Chisholm.

Elsewhere on this day Celtic humped St Mirren 7-1 at Parkhead, and Neil Simpson decided to perform an impromptu rearrangement of Ian Durrant's knee ligaments in Aberdeen's 2-1 victory over Rangers at Pittodrie.
