Winning start for Mowbray

New Zealand international Chris Killen scored two goals in the space of three minutes late in the first half before substitute Koki Mizuno struck in the 50th minute with a brilliant diving header.
The hosts fought gamely to reduce the deficit but Roar keeper Liam Reddy continued to have a hard time of it with Celtic stand-in captain and Australia striker Scott McDonald influential before being replaced in the 61st minute.
Marc-Antoine Fortune, who recently completed a reported £3.8million move from Nancy to Glasgow, entered the fray at McDonald's expense but failed to fire in his first appearance for the Hoops.
Fortune, like many Celtic players, appeared tired after the long flight, but still gave Celtic fans an exciting preview of his skills with a couple of deft touches.
The match, played in front of a boisterous crowd of 31,340 that featured plenty of Hoops supporters, was the first of four pre-season friendlies for Celtic in preparation for the opening UEFA Champions League qualifier.
The only sour note for the visitors was a possible knee injury to Milan Misun who looked to be in some pain after clashing with Roar midfielder Matt McKay.
