Youngsters were introduced to the first team environment as St Johnstone started pre-season with a 1-1 draw against Dunfermline.
The Perth squad, light in terms of experience due to injuries, included a number of players who have been working their way through the ranks.
It was the Pars who nudged into an early lead when former Saint Aaron Comrie’s 13th minute delivery found its way to Craig Wighton eight yards out. He wasted little time in nudging the ball low into the bottom corner.
