Following yesterday’s review of the TV money earned to date by clubs in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League after the group stage, I had a few requests to look at Scotland in more detail.

Overview

The difference in income between UEFA’s three competitions is once again clear, as I estimate that Celtic have earned €36.1m from the Champions League, which is much more than Rangers’ €20.2m in the Europa League and Aberdeen’s €4.8m in the Europa Conference.

This is despite the fact that Celtic finished bottom of their group, while Rangers came first in their group, thus proceeding to the last 16.

Champions League

Celtic were Scotland’s sole representative in the Champions League group stage this season, earning €36.1m, which was made up of €15.6m participation fee, €4.0m prize money, €10.2m UEFA coefficient payment and €6.2m TV pool.
