Celtic bag another UEFA bonus for their growing prize pot

Celtic has earned an additional €2.1 million for their Champions League prize fund after defeating RB Leipzig 3-1. This adds to their total earnings, now at €4.9 million, from accumulating seven points in the group stage. They may receive even more based on their final standing in the group, as €700,000 remains up for grabs from a previous 0-0 draw against Atalanta. If Celtic reaches the Last 16 Play-Offs, they could gain another €1 million bonus, and a high-profile match in front of 60,000 fans would generate substantial revenue. Advancing to the Last 16 would yield a prize of €11 million, more than double the reward for winning the SPFL Premiership. This season’s participation in the eight-game league phase has already secured €18.62 million, bringing their total to €23.52 million (over £20 million) before considering revenue from four sold-out home games.

 

In addition to financial gains, Celtic is improving their European co-efficient, which could help them secure a seeded position in next season’s qualifiers after three consecutive years of direct entry.
