Hibs drop from third to fifth after wins for Dundee United and Falkirk.

Hibernian fell from third to fifth position without kicking a ball this afternoon.

Dundee United won the game against St Mirren at Tannadice with two late goals, moving Jim Goodwin’s team into third.

Falkirk defeated Dundee with a late goal from Connor Allan, moving them up to fourth place.

David Gray’s team will meet Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Sunday, October 26, 2025. The televised William Hill Premiership match begins at 2:30pm.

On Thursday evening, the Reds suffered a 6-0 UEFA Conference League setback away to Greek team AEK Athens.

Jimmy Thelin’s side trailed 3-0 after half an hour and lost three more goals in the second half to inflict their worst-ever European defeat.

Aberdeen’s domestic fortunes have improved in recent weeks, with two victories from two after a poor start to the season.

The Pittodrie team had only one point from their first six games, keeping them at the bottom of the table until they earned back-to-back victories over Dundee and St Mirren.

The Dons’ 4-0 thrashing of Steven Pressley’s side, as well as their close 1-0 victory over the Buddies, have propelled them to 11th place in the table, above Livingston.

Hibs can return to third place with a win and overtake Falkirk on goal difference with a draw.
