Dundee have already grabbed 31 goals in eight competitive games this season, and yet again they looked vibrant at Easter Road.

Lyall Cameron continues to grow in stature and buzzed about the midfield along with Luke McCowan, while Scott Tiffoney's pace and Simon Murray's all-round brilliance makes them a threat for anyone.

After finishing sixth on their top-flight return last season Tony Docherty will aim to build on that, but defensively they have work to do.

Centre-back Billy Koumetio, who at 21 has not played many senior games, was brought in to start but was rash in giving away the free kick which lead to Boyle's equaliser, and he was too easily fended off by Bowie for Hibs' second goal.

If Docherty can keep hold of his best players before Friday's deadline and build more robustness in their own box, it could be a memorable season.
