Rolling in it

Celtic have made nearly 30 million euros in guaranteed revenue from UEFA for their participation in the Champions League this season.

Neil Lennon's side have accumulated €28.7m (£23.3m) through a combination of UEFA base payments, performance related bonuses and TV money.

Celtic went into the group stages having already been guaranteed €8.6m from UEFA for their participation, as well as €2.1m for taking part in the play-offs.

€12m is also picked up as part of the market pool, the payments made to clubs from TV revenue.

A further €3.5m was then made in performance bonuses, having won three and drawn one of their six group matches against Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow.

Having qualified for the last 16, an automatic, additional payment of €3.5m is triggered.

Should the SPL champions progress even further in the competition, they would pick up an additional €3.9m for playing in the quarter finals, and €4.9m on top of that for being in the semis.

Participation in the final at Wembley guarantees a UEFA bonus payment of €10.5m for the tournament winners, and €6.5m for the runners-up.
