Transfers

St Johnstone's first significant move in the close season was to release nine first-team players, most of whom were forwards.[6] David Robertson became their first signing during the close season, being brought in from Dundee United.[7] He was followed by Sean Higgins from Dundee and Callum Davidson from Preston North End, all arriving on free transfers.[8] The departures continued, however, with the news that Danny Grainger had joined Hearts and Michael Duberry was leaving to return to England.
