A lively start saw McParland set up Duffy from close range (10). Brown cleared off the line as Saints had a good spell until half-time then a brilliant header (56) levelled the scores. It was end to end stuff until 2nd bottom St Johnstone (down to 10 men for the second half) got their deserved winner (86).
