Scott McKenna has highlighted Oli McBurnie's influence in him opting to sign for Las Palmas this summer.
Both Scotland internationalists have penned three-year contracts with the Gran Canaria-based La Liga side after leaving Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United at the end of last season.
McBurnie, 28, has already featured in three friendlies for his new employers, while McKenna, 27, could make his debut during the closed-door match against Liverpool on Sunday.
Las Palmas previously finished 16th in the 20-team Spanish top division, but McKenna, who has been capped 37 times by his country and featured in all three Euro 2024 group stage matches, believes they can kick on after being left impressed by the club's proposal compared to other offers he had on the table.

"It's great to have Oli here and he's already been a huge influence," the former Aberdeen youth academy graduate said at his first Las Palmas press conference.
"He explained the game model to me, of having possession, dominating the opponent and being on the attack. It's a great opportunity for me.
"I had a number of proposals, but Las Palmas' offer was the one that excited me the most. Obviously it might take me a few weeks to adapt to the style of play and the way the manager wants me to play, I hope I can learn quickly.
"La Liga is a very high level and on a par with the English Premier League. I played against some great teams at Forest and I hope that experience will help me settle in here.
"We want to try to play attacking football. Las Palmas have made some great signings, including Oli. We like to try to keep the ball and dominate in every game."
