St Johnstone were presented with the Scottish Championship trophy following a victory over Raith Rovers, with Jamie Gullan scoring twice to secure the win, according to a BBC Sport report.
Gullan's two goals proved sufficient to settle the afternoon's fixture before the ceremony that marked the end of St Johnstone's Championship campaign — one that has earned them promotion back to the Scottish Premiership.
The presentation gave Perth's supporters the occasion they had been building towards, with the trophy lifted at full time before what will have been a charged home support. Winning the Championship outright rather than simply securing promotion adds a distinct weight to what the club has achieved across the course of the season.
St Johnstone have historically moved between Scotland's top two divisions, and a title-winning return to the Premiership will carry particular significance for a club of their standing in Scottish football. The manner of the send-off — a convincing home win against Raith Rovers followed by the formal presentation — gave the occasion a clean, ceremonial feel.
Raith Rovers, themselves a side with Premiership ambitions in recent seasons, were unable to spoil the hosts' day. Whether they remain in contention for the play-offs will become clearer as the Championship's remaining fixtures conclude.
For St Johnstone, attention will now turn to preparing for life back in the top flight.
