ADAM POOR MOVIE - CAD.

Byline: Euan McLean

PAUL CADDIS fell asleep during a team bonding trip to the cinema this week but the Scotland Under-21s' skipper warned they can't afford to nod off for a second against Austria's team of giants.

Every member of the hulking home side is over six feet tall, so pint-sized stopper Caddis fears they will be a major threat at set-pieces against a Scots side severely lacking the height to deal with an aerial bombardment.

That makes it crucial for captain Caddis and co to avoid giving away needless fouls and corners around the box.

Caddis said: "The Austrians are all six-foot plus and one of the boys up front is about 6ft 7in.

"With the difference in size I think we will need to use our heads a bit more in terms of not giving away stupid fouls or daft corners that could give them the edge.

"We don't have a great deal of height in our team so we have to pass the ball about and look to be quicker and fitter than them."

As if Billy Stark's players aren't small enough, the skipper revealed hitman Chris Maguire feels about two feet tall after the ferocious slagging he's been taking for choosing a duff movie at the cinema on Wednesday.

Caddis said: "We went to see Adam Sandler's new movie Funny People and it was terrible. Chris had heard it was decent but I fell asleep halfway through. It dragged on and on.

"It was a good idea for us all to go out together but next time Chris doesn't get to choose.

"It helps to do things like that when the squad hasn't been together for so long. The last game was in March.

"After a good start to the group we feel good going into this game and hopefully we can make it three wins out of three - but it won't be easy."
