2007:  Injury has kept Killen out of New Zealand's tours of the Americas and Wales but not the headlines with the Wellington-born marksman signing a lucrative three-year deal with Glasgow giants Celtic in late May. 

2006: With 15 goals in 26 internationals, Killen is on target to overhaul the recently retired Vaughan Coveny (30 goals in 75 internationals) as New Zealand’s leading all-time marksman. Briefly led the Scottish Premier League golden boot standings and eventually finished equal fourth with 13 goals despite not playing since January due to an Achilles tendon injury. Scored the middle goal in the All Whites’ historic 3-1 victory over Georgia in Germany in May 2006 – New Zealand’s first win on international soil.
