Kilmarnock warmed up for next week’s Europa League qualifier with a comfortable 5-0 friendly victory over Barrow at Rugby Park.
The Scots, of course, are much further forward in their preparations than Stephen Clemence’s side, but even so there were plenty of questions to ask for Barrow’s new man in charge.
But he could also point to the fact that Killie won with the help of an own goal and two penalties.
A Joe Wright header was deflected into the net via a visiting defender to give the hosts a half time lead.
Danny Armstrong tucked away two penalties in the second half, either side of a well placed shot from Marley Watkins which found the Barrow netr.
Fraser Murray finished it off for the home side by firing a curler into the top corner for the fifth goal.
It should be noted, of course, that Kilmarnock finished fourth in the Scottish Premiership last season and kick-off the new campaign at home to Cercle Bruges on Thursday evening in the Europa League
