History
{{For|season-by-season statistics|List of St Johnstone F.C. seasons}}Origins
(File:St Johnstone FC League Performance.svg|thumb|300px|right|Chart of yearly table positions of St Johnstone in the Scottish league.)St Johnstone FC was formed by members of a local cricket club seeking ways to occupy their time and keep fit once the cricket season had finished. The cricketers were kicking a football around the South Inch, a large public park beside the River Tay during the autumn of 1884. This is widely acknowledged to be the date of the formation of St Johnstone Football Club, although it was not until early in the following year that a group of footballers, led by John Colborn, held an official meeting that led to the formation of the football club as a separate entity rather than a 'spin-off' from the cricket club.Official club website history section {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130805174331weblink |date=5 August 2013 }}Football was becoming increasingly popular in Scotland and, although there were other local clubs including Fair City Athletic, Erin Rovers and Caledonian (based at Perth railway station), it was St Johnstone that became the one most associated with the town. The name is traced back to the Middle Ages when Perth was colloquially known as 'St John's Toun' (or 'Saint Johnstoun') as the church at the centre of the parish was dedicated to St John the Baptist. Agnus Dei (The Lamb of God), the symbol associated with John the Baptist, forms part of St Johnstone's club badge.WEB,weblink St. John's Kirk, Perth â Welcome, 27 April 2007, 1 July 2007,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20070701082828weblink">weblink live, Club members leased a piece of land adjacent to the South Inch, known as the Recreation Grounds, which became St Johnstone's first home ground. After several decades â and regular problems with flooding â it became clear they had outgrown the venue and so, in 1924, they moved to the other side of Perth and built Muirton Park, which would serve as their home for the next 65 years.1886 to 1972
St Johnstone made their debut appearance in the Scottish Cup in the 1886â87 tournament but were defeated 7â1 in a first round replay by the Erin Rovers club, also based in Perth, after a 3â3 draw at home.WEB,weblink St Johnstone results for the 1886-1887 season - Statto.com, Statto Organisation, Ltd, 4 August 2016, 16 August 2016,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20160816063533weblink">weblink live, In the 1910â11 Scottish Division Two season, Port Glasgow Athletic F.C. finished next to bottom and declined to apply for re-election. They were replaced for the 1911â12 Scottish Division Two season by St Johnstone, who finished fifth in their first season with ten wins and eight defeats.WEB,weblink St Johnstone Home Page for the 1911-1912 season - Statto.com, Statto Organisation, Ltd, 4 August 2016, 16 August 2016,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20160816072601weblink">weblink live, St Johnstone were promoted to the old First Division in 1924â25, by winning the Second Division title, and appointed David Taylor as team manager. They remained in the top flight until 1929â30 when they finished bottom of Division One. Two years later, under new manager Tommy Muirhead, the Saints were runners-up in Division Two to gain their second promotion. They performed well in Division One through the 1930s, reaching the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup in 1933â34 and finishing fifth in 1932â33 and 1934â35. In the final season before World War II, St Johnstone played well under manager David Rutherford to finish eighth.The Scottish Football League suspended competition for the duration of the war but sixteen clubs were able to form a regional Southern Football League that managed to operate each season. St Johnstone were closed for most of the war and lost their top flight status as a result. The Southern Football League continued through the post-war 1945â46 season but with two divisions to incorporate clubs that were restarting, including St Johnstone. The Saints played in the 1945â46 B Division and finished sixth of fourteen clubs.weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20091021104311weblink">WebCite: Southern Football League 1940â46 When the Scottish League restarted in 1946, the Southern League set-up was used as the first post-war competition, so the A Division became the new First Division and the B Division the new Second Division. St Johnstone had lost all the ground gained in the 1930s and could only finish ninth in Division Two in 1946â47.Jimmy Crapnell became the team manager for the 1947â48 season and was succeeded by Johnny Pattillo for 1953â54. The Saints remained in the Second Division throughout the tenures of these two managers. Bobby Brown took over in the summer of 1958 and, in his second season 1959â60, the club finally won promotion again. Brown and his successor Willie Ormond both managed Scotland after leaving St Johnstone. In 1970â71, under Ormond, Saints finished third in the league and qualified for the 1971â72 UEFA Cup.Cup Competitions
The club historically has had little success in national competitions. Prior to winning the Scottish Cup in 2014 their only cup successes were limited to successes in the Consolation Cup â a competition for clubs knocked out of early rounds of the Scottish Cup â in 1911 and 1914. The club have appeared twice in the Scottish Challenge Cup final, losing 1â0 to Stranraer in 1996, and winning the trophy in 2007 with a 3â2 victory over Dunfermline. Saints' Scottish Cup win came after seven semi-final appearances dating back to 1934. They have never won the top league. There were two appearances in the final of the League Cup, losing first to Celtic 1â0 in 1969 and 2â1 to Rangers in 1998, with Canadian internationalist Nick Dasovic scoring for Saints.In 2020â21, St Johnstone won their first League Cup and second Scottish Cup to complete a historic Cup double, becoming only the fourth team to achieve the feat. They defeated Livingston 1â0 in the League Cup final and Hibernian 1â0 in the Scottish Cup final. Defender Shaun Rooney headed the winner in both matches.Willie Ormond era
In terms of the league, the club's highest-ever finish has been third place in the old First Division, which has occurred on three occasions. The first was in 1970â71, when Saints finished behind Celtic and Aberdeen but ahead of Rangers. The team was mostly the 1969 League Cup team, managed by Willie Ormond, who eventually went on to manage Scotland. The club had some notable players during this period, who later went on to success at other clubs, e.g. Henry Hall, Alex MacDonald, John Lambie, John Connolly, and Jim Pearson.This third-placed finish led to a European adventure in the UEFA Cup, beating German giants Hamburger SV and Hungarians Vasas SC before finally going out in Yugoslavia to FK ŽeljezniÄar Sarajevo. The club continued to play in the top division of the Scottish Football League until reconstruction in 1975, but were relegated from the new Premier Division in its first season, and turned part-time for the first time since 1961.McDiarmid Park's south stand is named the Ormond Stand in his honour.Relegations and rebuilding
It took Saints until 1983 to return to the top flight â albeit for a single season and as part-time team â before setting a record through suffering two successive relegations in 1984 and 1985. They eventually found themselves bottom of the entire league in 1986 and skirted with financial oblivion, before local businessman Geoff Brown stepped in.An unprecedented change in the club's focus occurred over the next decade or so, with the move from long-term home Muirton Park to the new purpose-built McDiarmid Park on the outskirts of the city, the first purpose-built all-seater stadium built in the United Kingdom. The new stadium was named to recognise the donation of land by local farmer Bruce McDiarmid. This plus the input of significant transfer funds and the appointment of manager Alex Totten spurred Saints through the leagues. They obtained promotion to the First Division in 1988. Saints then won the First Division championship and promotion to the Premier Division in 1990 during the first season of football at McDiarmid Park. After 15 years as a semi-professional outfit, the club turned full-time again when promotion was achieved.Saints finished 1990â91 in 7th place, but their season was buoyed by an appearance in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, in which they lost to Dundee United.The following season proved to be Totten's last at the helm, an eighth-placed finish bringing to an end his five-year reign as manager. He was succeeded by John McClelland for the 1992â93 season. The Northern Irishman didn't fare much better, however, leading the club to 6th place. Another semi-finals cup appearance, this time the League Cup, sweetened the campaign slightly.St Johnstone's four-year run in the Premier Division came to an end in 1993â94, a 10th-placed finish sending them back to the First Division. McClelland left the club before the season ended, and was replaced by former Dundee United striker Paul Sturrock.Success in the 1990s
Under Sturrock's stewardship, more emphasis was placed on the club rearing its own players. This bore fruit in the form of Callum Davidson and Danny Griffin. Sturrock also introduced â at least in principle â the concept of morning and afternoon training sessions in an attempt to raise the fitness level of his players. In Sturrock's first full season in charge, Saints finished 5th in the First Division and reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup. In 1995â96, he led them to fourth place and a Scottish Cup quarter-final. League success returned in 1996â97 with the First Division championship and a return to the top flight. The club more than held their own in the first season back. Their 5th-placed finish meant they became founder members of the SPL the following season.Although Sturrock soon left for Dundee United, the club found a second 'golden period' in 1998â99 under new manager Sandy Clark, when the club finished third in the SPL behind Rangers and Celtic. Saints also reached the final of the League Cup and the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup in that season, losing to Rangers in both competitions. They lost to Rangers in five of the six meetings between the two clubs that season (including a 7â0 home defeat), but Saints won 3â1 in the other game.St Johnstone 3â1 Rangers {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930235830weblink |date=30 September 2007 }}, Soccerbase. Their finishing position in the league meant Saints had qualified for the 1999â00 UEFA Cup campaign. They started with a 3â1 aggregate win in the qualifying round over Finnish side VPS Vaasa, but were beaten 6â3 on aggregate by French giants AS Monaco in the first round proper. The return leg meant that international stars such as Fabien Barthez, John Arne Riise and David Trezeguet played at McDiarmid Park. St Johnstone remained unbeaten at home in European competitions until their tie against FC Minsk in 2013.The new millennium
(File:Inside McDiarmid Park.jpg|thumb|left|Matchday at McDiarmid Park)After a period of steady decline, the club were eventually relegated from the Premier League in 2002. Clark's replacement, Billy Stark, oversaw this relegation, and left the club in 2004 after two seasons of varying success. With the club in eighth place after a poor 2004â05 season under Stark's replacement, John Connolly, Owen Coyle took charge in April 2005, ushering in a promising new period in which St Johnstone earned second-place finishes in 2005â06 and 2006â07.There was also cup success under Coyle. On 8 November 2006, St Johnstone beat Rangers 2â0 at Ibrox to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup. Steven Milne scored both of the goals.WEB,weblink BBC SPORT â Football â Scottish Cups â Rangers 0â2 St Johnstone, 9 November 2006, 7 November 2012,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20121107172623weblink">weblink live, This was the club's first victory at Ibrox since April 1971. It was also the first time the club beat Rangers in a cup competition, and the first time that Rangers had been eliminated from a major cup competition at home by lower-division opposition.
