Bottom side St Johnstone are still without a win in the Scottish Premiership but picked up a battling draw against Aberdeen after a tepid match played in grizzly conditions at Pittodrie.
Steven MacLean's side, already four points adrift at the bottom, had the better of the first hour but could not create enough clear opportunities, with Graham Carey's two efforts over and Luke Jephcott's blocked shot as close as they came.
That miss - and substitutes Leighton Clarkson and Dante Polvara - sparked some life into Aberdeen in the final quarter, but they could not find the goal which would have moved them up to fourth place. Despite the quality they have in midfield with Connor Barron, Jamie McGrath, Graeme Shinnie, and Clarkson, they choose to by-pass them regularly with ineffective long balls up to Miovski and Duk.
Having said that, this performance suggested there could be brighter times ahead for St Johnstone. They won the midfield battle and passed the ball neatly for the first hour, in contrast to Aberdeen.
