Small caps with \textsc in subsections

Question

The code

\subsection{\textsc{Should be in small caps} $\cdot$ Normal tekst}
\textsc{This text is in small caps}

gives the output

The \textsc command works fine in normal text but not in a subsection title. As shown, I do not want to change the entire title format, only a small portion within. Thus I cannot find out to make a general renewcommand feature.

Is there a method to accomlish this?

My document head is the article type \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
