The 2010-11 campaign delivered another season of stability for St Johnstone as The Saints secured a respectable 8th-place finish in the Scottish Premier League. Leading the charge in the league was the creative midfielder Liam Craig, whose 5 goals proved crucial in a campaign that was also defined by two strong domestic cup runs, reaching the Scottish Cup Semi-final and the League Cup Quarter-final. Under manager Derek McInnes, it was a solid year that cemented the club's status as a consistent top-flight side and remains a defining chapter of their successful re-establishment in the Scottish elite.
