Former Australia captain Craig Moore couldn’t believe Ryan Strain wasn’t involved at the World Cup in Qatar. But the Socceroos Hall of Famer is convinced the St Mirren defender will bounce back and play a big part for his country in the future once he’s back in the international fold.

Strain narrowly missing out on joining Buddie Keanu Baccus after being left out of Graham Arnold’s final squad heading for Doha.
