Trivia

    Between 1885 and 1924, St. Johnstone played their home games at Recreation Park in Perth, near to the prison, and then, from 1924 to 1989, at Muirton Park .
    Their current McDiarmid Park home, built in 1989, was the first purpose-built all-seater football stadium in the country.
    They are the only league team in England or Scotland to have the letter "J" in their name.
    Their name comes about as the patron saint of Perth is St. John , hence St. John's Toun or St. Johnstone.
    St Johnstone is noted for not having many 'celebrity fans', but can count on the support of writer and broadcaster Stuart Cosgrove , as well as radio presenter and comedian Fred Macaulay and radio presenter Fraser Thomson.
    St Johnstone are the only Scottish side to be unbeaten at home in European football.
    St Johnstone are the only team from a lower division to beat Glasgow Rangers in a cup match.
