How much Rangers have earned with vital Europa League win

Rangers have banked their second Europa League win bonus following tonight's victory over Steaua Bucharest.

A double by Vaclav Cerny and Hamza Igamane's first goal for the club followed Tom Lawrence's opener at Ibrox, as Philippe Clement and his players recovered in perfect fashion from Sunday's Scottish Premiership defeat to Kilmarnock.

The result has Rangers on six points in the new-look Europa League league phase, with five ties still to play.

In turn, Rangers have pocketed a further €450k (£375k) in a win bonus from UEFA. This tops up the same amount they earned for winning against Malmo last month.

Rangers have already banked €4.31m (£3.6m) for qualifying for the league phase of the Europa League this term. That fee is separated into a down payment of €4.14m and a balance of €170k.

Rangers know they will also earn at least €75k (£62k) for their involvement in the league phase with that figure increased by €75k for every position above bottom they finish in the table.

Potential Europa League payments

1st to 8th in league phase - €600k (£500k)

9th to 16th in league phase - €300k (£250k)

At least €75k - increased by the same figure for every position above the bottom in the league phase.

- qualification for the knockout round play-offs: €300k per club - qualification for the round of 16: €1.75m per club   - qualification for the quarter-finals: €2.5m per club - qualification for the semi-finals: €4.2m per club - qualification for the final: €7m per club  The UEL winners can expect to receive an additional €6m
