Rangers die-hard Oli McBurnie has landed a dream move to Spain. 

The Scottish striker was released by Sheffield United following their relegation to the English Championship.

It was believed the 28-year-old had the opportunity to remain at Bramall Lane on reduced terms, but instead he's been confirmed as Las Palmas' latest summer addition, signing a three-year deal. 

The Gran-Canaria based side made the announcement on Thursday afternoon by writing: "Oliver McBurnie becomes the new forward for UD Las Palmas, following the agreement reached between both parties.

"The relationship will extend until June 30, 2027.  The centre forward arrives on a free transfer to UD Las Palmas from Sheffield United.

"McBurnie has extensive experience in the Championship (125 games) and the Premier League (96 games). He started in the ranks of Bradford and in the 2015/16 season he was transferred to Swansea City.

"After several seasons in which he was on loan at clubs such as Newport County, Bristol Rovers and Barnsley FC, he was transferred to Sheffield United in the 2019/20 season, playing 159 games so far in the ranks of the English club, where he has also scored 29 goals. 

"McBurnie is an international with Scotland, a national team with which he has played 17 games since his debut in 2018.

"The player arrives in Marbella tonight to join the team's training camp."

McBurnie paid farewell to Sheffield United by penning an emotional social media post as he looks towards a new chapter in La Liga.  

It read: "To Sheffield United. It's difficult to write this and express how special these last five years have been for me and my family.

"I came to United five years ago as a young naive man and leave with a beautiful girlfriend and perfect little daughter. 

"To the gaffer Chris and the previous manager Hecky whom I both have an enormous amount of respect for, thank you. It was a pleasure to work with and learn from you every day. You stuck by me when times were tough and you both made me a better person and footballer. 

"To the coaches and all the backroom staff from the training ground to the stadium, thank you for all your hard work that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. 

"To my teammates, wow. I've been lucky enough to share the dressing room truly with some of the best people I've ever met in my life. The memories we made and the times we had I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life. I really have made friends for life. Thank you.
