RANGERS manager Pedro Caixinha expected Scottish football to be on the up after being impressed with the coaching education programme.

But he said yesterday that there needs to be more focus on tactical awareness for players to get Scotland back to the main international arena.

The Portuguese coach disagreed with Gordon Strachan’s claim that Scotland were “genetically behind” other nations after taking their absence from major tournaments beyond 20 years with a 2-2 draw in Slovenia.
