Livingston remain unbeaten in their post-split fixtures thanks to a goalless draw in Paisley against St Mirren.
Neither side was able to produce much in the way of easy-on-the-eye football with what little action there was confined largely to the latter stages of both halves.
Each side must have though they had bagged the three points in the final couple of minutes as Jay Henderson's effort was hooked off the line by Livingston captain Nicky Devlin before the Lions almost won it at the death as Odin Bailey hit the crossbar.
In the penultimate game of the campaign, Livingston boss David Martindale handed a first league start to Caleb Chukwuemeka while Ivan Konovalov retained his place in goal despite Max Stryjek being available following his suspension.
The contest was certainly a slow burner with neither side even threatening a shot on target inside the first 20 minutes before a flurry of activity that saw both teams pass up decent chances to open the scoring.
Devlin's cross was met at the back post by Alan Forrest who saw his effort blocked before Ryan Flynn was agonisingly close to connecting with a Curtis Main flick-on at the other end.
Saints would go even close moments later when Scott Tanser's whipping ball into the box was headed fiercely against the woodwork by Joe Shaughnessy with the rebound clattering off Lions defender Jack Fitzwater and trundling past the post.
Chukwuemeka was struggling to get into the game for the away side but the Aston Villa loanee went close to netting his first goal for the club when he flashed a header wide from a corner-kick while Forrest produced a mazy run that saw him jink effortlessly in between two defenders only for Jak Alnwick to parry his effort to keep the game scoreless.
