Ross McCrorie has made just two appearances for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers to date.
Rangers were beaten 2-0 by Celtic at Ibrox in their most recent contest, and McCrorie was one of the few Light Blues players to come out of the Old-Firm with credit.
The youngster dealt with Celtic’s attacking threat well, and was not overawed by the big occasion.
And Caixinha has spoken very positively about the youngster’s talents, after witnessing his performance against the Bhoys.
“McCrorie is a player I don’t have doubts about. I like Ross a lot and he did really well,” Caixinha said.
“He didn’t shake and didn’t fail the test. That’s his mentality. He did his job okay on Saturday.”
McCrorie was called into Rangers’ first-team to cover for the injured Bruno Alves against Celtic.
The prospect has only had a limited amount of game-time at Ibrox so far, but he has coped well when given an opportunity.
McCrorie will now be hoping to add to his two appearances for the Light Blues in the coming weeks, after earning Caixinha’s trust.
Rangers are next in action on Friday evening, when they take on Hamilton at the SuperSeal Stadium.
