How Celtic could bank extra Champions League cash with LASK knockout

Celtic can earn more Champions League cash this season - depending on which clubs they face in the League Phase.

The Hoops know they will take place in the Champions League proper this term if they can get past LASK over two legs.

The Scottish giants welcome their opponents to Glasgow on Thursday and then make the trip to Linz a week later.

Victory will take them through the playoff and the riches of the elite competition await.

Around £40million will land in the club's coffers with victory over their foes but they could bank even more depending on the teams who make it through their own playoffs this week.

UEFA's new financial distribution model comes via a Value Pillar which ranks all 36 clubs based on their five-year coefficient in Europe as well as their TV market rating and their 10-year coefficient.

It means, should Fenerbahce knock out Lyon this week, an extra €1.28million (£1.09m) would be added to Celtic's income due to the above issues.

Football Meets Data has also confirmed that if NEC eliminate Bodo/Glimt, it would move Celtic one place higher in the five-year coefficient and TV market rankings, potentially adding around €940,000 (£803k) to their earnings.

Viking FK knocking off Dinamo Zagreb would earn Celts a further €350,000 (£300k).
