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.
He added: "The boys played a good game and the positives were much more than the points we didn't like. Winning and winning by four goals is something which is very, very good.
"The boys who needed to score goals, scored goals to keep that level of confidence, so overall we need to be pleased.
"The quality of the play was very good. We maybe had opportunities to score a few more goals but the quality we arrived in the last third in was okay, though some things regarding to the starting and ending attacking positions, we need to improve.
"The way we conceded the goal too, I didn't like it, and the way we began the second half, I didn't like. Those points can make the difference - so we need to keep looking at them.
