Kilmarnock's veteran goalkeeper Alan Combe is happy to have relinquished his coaching duties at Rugby Park.
The 33-year-old had been acting as the club's goalkeeping coach in the last two seasons, but has stepped aside following the arrival of Billy Thomson from Rangers.
Combe told the Daily Record: "Billy's been in for a week and a half now and it's been good.
"I think the gaffer realised I wasn't doing as much work on my own game as I should have been doing because of the coaching.
"It's been refreshing working with him and now I can just go in and do my work and not care about anyone else.
"When you are doing a training exercise I can now be selfish, look after myself and be focused. That can only benefit me."
