The SPFL is set to hand out advanced payments to all senior Scottish clubs amid the coronavirus shutdown.
The BBC are reporting that Celtic, Rangers and Motherwell will receive £395,000 plus VAT as they are the top three sides in the Premiership, while other top-flight sides will get £157,500 plus VAT.
Lower down the Scottish football pyramid, payments dip significantly. Reports suggest Championship clubs will land £26,500 plus VAT, League One clubs £2,700 plus VAT and League Two clubs £1,350 plus VAT.
All payments are set to be processed at the turn of the month with many clubs facing financial difficulty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Scottish football season has been on shutdown since March 13 and it remains to be seen when teams will return to action, with UEFA recently stating they hope to have domestic action completed by the end of June.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
