It was a disappointing season for the Saints, having to play against Inverness in the play-offs to ensure their survival.
After losing many stars that were pivotal to last season’s cup double, it was always going to be challenging for the Perthshire club.
They recruited players like Ambrose and Ciftci. However, the signings didn’t work out for the team, with the players failing to have the desired impact.
The 33-year-old defender was signed in the summer, it was seen as a good piece of business, but after failing to impact the side, he was sent to Dunfermline on loan. He played twelve times for the then Championship side.
Ciftci arrived at McDaird Park in February, with the club hoping he could score some vital goals to ensure the club’s safety. He played eight times in the Premiership this season, failing to register any goal involvements.
