St Mirren finished a rollercoaster season four games unbeaten after taking a point off former boss Jim Goodwin's Aberdeen.
The Buddies fittingly faced their ex-manager for the first time since he moved to Pittodrie in February in their final clash of the campaign.
A fairly uneventful first half sparked into life just before the break when referee Don Robertson handed Saints a penalty for a Scott Tanser handball, only to reverse his decision after deliberation with his linesman.
The Buddies struggled to carve open the Aberdeen defence and largely had stand-in skipper Jak Alnwick to thank for coming away with a draw after pulling off a string of impressive saves in his last game for the club.
The stalemate ensured St Mirren finished above the Dons in the final standings, much to the delight of the Paisley club's supporters.
The already depleted Buddies travelled north without Curtis Main and skipper Joe Shaughnessy, with Richard Tait and Jay Henderson promoted to the starting XI.
Alnwick was significantly handed the armband, with the stopper now expected to join Cardiff City.
Aberdeen started brightly and Lewis Ferguson was disappointed with his effort from a promising position on the edge of the box that curled harmlessly over the bar.
Ferguson produced much better with his next attempt, drawing a superb stop from Alnwick who spectacularly tipped onto the roof of the net.
Alan Power blocked a dangerous low strike inside the box as the Dons pressure began to mount, before St Mirren started to finally grab a foothold in the game with Henderson and Ethan Erhahon enjoying more possession.
The Buddies were pressing well and forcing the hosts into mistakes, one of which led to Henderson blazing well over the bar.
Stephen Robinson's side almost took the lead when Scott Tanser's excellent free-kick found Fraser on the six-yard line. He headed straight at Joe Lewis with the goal at his mercy.
Alex Greive was unsurprisingly struggling up front on his own without recent strike partner Main, with Andy Considine and David Bates marshalling him with ease in the opening half an hour.
Ferguson looked the most likely Dons player to break the deadlock, going close again with a fierce drive from the edge of the box after a neat passing move opened up the Saints defence.
Alnwick came to his side's rescue again when Marcus Fraser failed to deal with a simple ball through, pulling off an impressive stop from Connor Barron's low effort.
Aberdeen thought they'd opened the scoring from the resulting corner, but Ross McCrorie's strike was chalked off after referee Don Robertson spotted Marley Watkins impeding Alnwick.
There was some serious drama just before half-time when the Dons were awarded a penalty after the ball appeared to hit Scott Tanser's hand.
After Alnwick pleaded his case with the linesman, referee Robertson reversed his decision - much to the dismay on the home side and their supporters.
The second half began with a long goodbye to Aberdeen stalwart Considine, with the defender subbed off injured shortly after the restart in what was his last appearance for the club.
Robinson was also forced into a double change early in the second half, with Matt Millar and Eamonn Brophy replacing Henderson and Tait who were both struggling with knocks.
The pair almost combined instantly to carve Saints out an opener, with Millar's low cross finding Brophy. The former Kilmarnock striker was just crowded out in the box as he prepared to strike.
St Mirren immediately posed much more of a threat with two strikers up front. Greg Kiltie found Brophy on the edge of the box, who cleverly spun past his marker before dragging a shot narrowly wide of the near post.
Jonny Hayes blazed wide from distance as the hosts tried to break the deadlock, with Jim Goodwin's men still struggling to carve open the Buddies' defence.
Aberdeen's David Bates went into the book for a high foot challenge on Alex Greive right on the edge of the box.
Free kick specialist Tanser stepped up to hit the tempting set piece, but his effort surprisingly flew well off target.
Both teams were battling to find a late winner, and Aberdeen playmaker Hayes thought he'd found it when he unleashed a powerful effort goalwards with ten minutes left on the clock. Once again Alnwick pulled off a wonderful stop to keep his side level.
Fittingly it was the Alnwick show in the closing stages. He pulled off two strong saves from close-range headers, from Liam Harvey and then Gallagher, to again keep the Dons out and earn his side a hard-fought point in his last appearance between the sticks.
