St Johnstone and Tommy Wright are often raised up as the best thing since sliced bread and far ahead of the teams of similar size/following etc like us...
Since St Jonnstone have came up (2008/2009) they've finished top 6, 6 times (6th, 3rd, 6th, 4th, 4th, 4th) and bottom 6, 3 times (8th, 8th, 8th). Been in Europe 5 seasons. 3 cup semi's and 1 final which of course they won the Scottish Cup.
Since 2008/9 we have top 6, 6 times (5th, 6th, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 5th) and bottom 6, 3 times (7th, 11th, 9th). Been in Europe 6 times. 1 cup semi and 3 cup finals.
Other than that elusive cup win I'd say that's not hugely different....
