The Perth side had started the game well but failed to call home goalkeeper Kelle Roos into serious action
St Johnstone were missing a final piece of quality but added a point to their Premiership tally in the pouring rain at Pittodrie.
Later, speculative efforts arrived in Graham Carey’s back post volley - it almost landed in the North Sea - and Matt Smith’s curler from the edge of the box. It would have been particularly harsh on Saints who, for large parts of the first half, had pinged the ball about rather nicely and with purpose.
With 72 minutes played, defender Luke Robinson was almost punished for slack play at the back but Bojan Miovski lifted his effort over the bar.
