It was a first Kilmarnock goal for the 30-year-old Dubliner, who moved to Scotland from Lincoln City ahead of the 2017-18 season.
Keena is currently on loan at Dunfermline from Hearts. The 19-year-old has also been in Scotland since the summer of 2017, having been signed by Hearts from St Patrick’s Athletic.
A native of Westmeath, Keena marked his first Dunfermline start in the Scottish Championship by scoring both goals in a 2-2 draw with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, the second of which was a stunning long-range effort.
