RANGERS manager Pedro Caixinha has been keen to foster a good team spirit during the early stages of his tenure at Ibrox.
After back-to-back wins in the Ladbrokes Premiership, the latest of which was a 4-1 win over Dundee, Caixinha is happy with the development of his squad.
The Portuguese has pointed to the manner in which his side celebrates each goal as proof of a strong spirit within the team and says there has been a conscious effort to get the squad working closer together.
“We started having a look at it in pre-season,” he told Rangers TV. “We analysed, not only the moments of the game, but the way we were celebrating the goals, so it is very important for us to celebrate together.
“I told them that situation after I had seen them celebrate a couple of goals, so it really means and shows our team spirit as in that moment, everyone is enthusiastic, happy and involved in it and I really believe when teams celebrate together and celebrate enthusiastically, there is a strong spirit among the group.”
The Gers sit fourth in the table after overcoming a tricky start to the season and a brace from Alfredo Morelos coupled with goals from Josh Windass and Carlos Pena hinted at genuine progress for Caixinha’s men.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
