Rangers have out-earned rivals Celtic in Uefa prize money for the first time in nine years.
The Light Blues have sealed around £6.23m already thanks to solid victories, including a 3-2 win over Standard Liege last night at Ibrox.
This is compared to Celtic's estimated £6.04m having gone their entire campaign so far without any wins under their belt.
According to Football Coefficient database, around £514,000 is handed over to clubs for a victory in Europa League group games, while £171,000 is given for any draws. Gers are on course to win their group next week with victory over Lech Poznan which would see them mop up £1million compared to if they fail to top the group. Though second place would still fetch them around £450,000.
Gers have won three group games and drawn two, while Celts have only managed a single draw away to Lille.
Clubs from the same country are also usually forced to split the cash pot in the latter stages - which only Gers have managed - meaning they will mop up the funds.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
