What are European stakes for Scottish clubs in closing games?

Published

on

The Scottish champions will receive £3.7m for reaching the Champions League play-off round, with another £16.1m to come should they reach the league stage.

That is before bonus payments of £1.73m per win, £605,000 per draw and £275,000 per finishing position in the table – with additional payments should they progress to the last 16 or beyond.

Reaching the Europa League proper guarantees £3.7m, with performance bonuses of £388,000 per win and £130,000 per draw.

There is £187,000 available for each position in the final Europa League table.

Performance bonus payments for the Conference League are £345,000 per win and £115,000 per draw, with £24,000 for each position in the table.

Should Celtic or Rangers finish third in the Premiership, it would be a multi-million drop in their expectations of income.

For Hearts, Champions League qualification would be game changing.

Even if they drop into the Europa League, this would bring in a guaranteed minimum of around £7.3m with ticket sales and other commercial revenues to be added.
