John-Jules makes scoring return as Kilmarnock ease aside Glens

Tyreece John-Jules marked his return from injury with a goal as Kilmarnock got their pre-season off to a flyer with a convincing 4-0 win over Glentoran in Belfast. The striker had been handed a one-year contract extension after suffering a quad injury in February that ruled him out for the rest of the last campaign. He came on as a half-time substitute at The Oval and scored after 65 minutes to make it 3-0 for the Scottish Premiership visitors. Fellow forward Joe Hugill had marked his new contract extension by opening the scoring after only 10 minutes against hosts who were runners-up in the NIFL Premiership last season. Ieuan Owen, the 20-year-old forward bought from Barry Town this summer, completed the scoring with seven minutes remaining. Mark O'Hara, the midfielder who has returned from Kilmarnock from St Mirren, started the game, while Calum Ferrie, the goalkeeper signed from Queen's Park, and former Trencin forward Roshaun Mathurin came on for the second half along with John-Jules and Owen. However, midfielder Bailey Rice was not involved after arriving on loan from Rangers. Neil McCann's side next face Linfield, who finished fourth in the NIFL Premiership, at Windsor Park on Saturday.
