The game finished 1-1 with a point far from ideal for either side. Callum Hendry opened the scoring for the visitors against his former club in the first-half before Lewis Ferguson brought the Dons level with a disputed penalty after the interval.
St Johnstone remain bottom, while Aberdeen climbed one place but are still out the top six. It was also a game where both suffered from injuries.
The interim Dons management team of Barry Robson, Neil Simpson and Scott Brown will likely not have been overly impressed with the side's performance. Young midfielder Connor Barron was one of the few positives on the night.
Motherwell are up next for Aberdeen who will be looking to make an appointment soon following the dismissal of Stephen Glass.
Ahead of the Premiership match, Premier Sports chose the Scottish Cup fixtures they will provide live coverage of in the quarter-finals. And it is a no surprise to anyone that Dundee United v Celtic and Dundee v Rangers were the ones selected.
The Glasgow giants are in European action this week as Rangers travel to Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League and Celtic host Bodo/Glimt in the Conference League. Due to the introduction of the latter tournament the knockout stages have been tweaked ever so slightly with a play-off round.

St Johnstone have suffered a triple injury blow ahead of their Premiership clash with Hearts at the weekend. Zander Clark, Melker Hallberg and Callum Hendry all picked up injuries in the 1-1 draw with Aberdeen on Tuesday night. Saints boss Callum Davidson said: “A calf isn’t a great injury – I’ve had numerous ones. Hopefully these guys come back quicker than I did. I was probably out for about six weeks after one.” (Courier) Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
