Transfers

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