Express Sport can reveal that every single one of Gordon Strachan’s players registered for the knock-out stages will receive £50,000 each.

The fee agreed by Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell was the same figure as the team received for getting to the same stage, by beating Spartak Moscow, last season.

This time, though, the fact the Scottish champions go directly into the lucrative group sections means they didn’t have the concerns of a tricky qualifier.

Strachan’s squad could boost their bonuses further with positive results against European champions Manchester United, Villarreal and Danish title winners Aalborg and by making into the knock-out stages for a third consecutive season.

That money though will be a drop in the ocean for Celtic who can expect to earn in excess of £12 million, as Scotland’s sole representative in the Champions League.
