Ross County manager Jim McIntyre is confident a top-six Premiership finish will make it easier to attract better players to Dingwall this summer.
The Staggies, who won the League Cup final at Hampden last month, secured a place in the top-half of the table finish by beating Partick Thistle 1-0 on Saturday.
The aim will now be to secure a fourth-place finish which would be enough to qualify for European football next season if Celtic manage to complete a league and Scottish Cup double.
And one player who could arrive in Dingwall in the summer is Dutch defender Kenny van der Weg.
The 25-year-old, who plays for NAC Breda, has been offered a three-year contract extension by the second-tier Eerste Divisie club, but the former team-mate of County attacker Alex Schalk is a free agent at the end of the season and is drawing a crowd.
McIntyre believes his side’s memorable campaign will increase his club’s profile and said: “Of course it helps. Any time we play in high-profile games or get recognition for success then it does make the club more attractive for potential new signings.
“The one thing I do know is the players who have come up to the club from England have been blown away with the facilities we have got up here.
“And for them, travelling for two and a half or three hours every second Friday for an away game isn’t a big deal as they are used to travelling across England.”
The Staggies will now attempt to beat the club’s best league finish – the fifth place they achieved in 2013 in their first season in Scotland’s top flight.
But McIntyre says plans are already in motion to ensure the club becomes a regular fixture in the top half of the table.
He added: “The planning for next season has been going on for a while.
“Finishing in the top six helps, certainly in terms of the budget.
“From that side of things, I am delighted for our chairman Roy MacGregor, but also the players. They are the ones who have to go out there and perform every week. It is all right standing on the sidelines shouting instructions, but they have to go on the pitch and carry them out so I am thrilled for them.”
