Drey Wright fired Saints into the lead with his seventh of the seasonSteven MacLean's first game as permanent St Johnstone manager ended in a convincing Scottish Premiership win over Livingston.
The Perth legend signed a three-year contract through the week after guiding the Saints to safety, and Drey Wright ensured his tenure got off to the perfect start with his first-half goal.
Chirs Kane rounded off the scoring, slotting home from the spot after a season which he has largely missed through injury.
The victory means the Perth side finished the season in ninth, one place and three points behind their opposition at McDiarmid Park.
