Former Aberdeen loan striker Callum Hendry gave St Johstone an early leadManagerless Aberdeen salvaged a point with a contentious penalty to prevent St Johnstone moving off the foot of the Scottish Premiership.
Callum Hendry's early goal was met with a fiery first-half response from the hosts in their first game since Stephen Glass' departure.
They levelled through Lewis Ferguson after the break, when Callum Booth was deemed to have tripped Calvin Ramsay, and nearly grabbed a stoppage-time winner when substitute goalkeeper Elliot Parish denied Christian Ramirez.
Aberdeen, with Barry Robson taking interim charge, move up a place to eighth but are six matches without victory.
St Johnstone stay bottom and now trail Dundee by a point having played a game more.
More to follow.
