Celtic earned themselves a tidy payday with an opening-day victory in the revamped Champions League.
Brendan Rodgers' side kickstarted their campaign with a thumping 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava which earned a €2.1m (£1.77m) performance bonus.
However, Celtic's involvement at the top table of European football will also land significant bonus payments for seven Scottish Premiership clubs, according to a report.
The Daily Mail report that UEFA windfalls in the region of £1.6m will be paid to seven of the 12 top-flight clubs.
The payments will be made to clubs who did not play in European group stage fixtures during the 2023/24 season.

Around £650k will be dished out to Dundee, Hearts, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone and St Mirren. The monies will be paid in arrears after Celtic featured in the Champions League last season.
However, a shift in UEFA payment structures has meant a further installment of solidarity payments will be received under the new broadcasting cycle.
Due to Celtic being in the revamped Champions League this term, Dundee, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone and St Mirren will receive £1.6m each.
Hearts and Livingston will pocket £650k with Aberdeen and Dundee United to receive a near £1m amount.
Hearts receive a lesser fee due to being involved in the Conference League group stage with Livingston not taking a higher bracket payment after relegation to the Scottish Championship.
Similarly, Aberdeen won't earn the full £1.6m having been in European group stage competition in 2023/24 with Dundee United earning £1m instead of £1.6 as they played in the Scottish Championship last season.
UEFA Champions League solidarity payment to Scottish clubs
£1.6m - Dundee, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone, St Mirren.
£950k - Dundee United & Aberdeen.
650k - Hearts & Livingston.
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!
