Former Rangers striker Jermain Defoe admits he had "switched off" as a player after picking up his Ibrox coaching role.
Defoe joined Steven Gerrard 's coaching set-up in the wake of their Premiership title win while also staying on as a member of the squad.
Following Gerrard's departure for Aston Villa and the arrival of Gio van Bronckhorst in Govan, Defoe was cut from the coaching staff as the Dutchman appointed his own team.
