A disappointing European campaign ended on a high for Celtic on Wednesday evening but there's 2.4million reasons their win over Feyenoord was a lot more than meaningless.

The Hoops were set to bottom out of their section no matter what happened after just one point from the opening five games but Gustaf Lagerbielke's late strike gave them a long-awaited home victory in the Champions League.

It also added a cool £2.4m to the prize money coffers - underscoring just how profitable Europe's top competition is. The win means that between their participation fees, coefficient payout, share of the TV pool and prize money, they take home €34.5m (£29.7m) in total from the group stage this season.

That's according to projected figures from Chris Weatherspoon on Twitter - which are locked in for Celtic now their European campaign is over. €4m (£3.5m) of that comes from performance-based revenue picked up from their draw with Atletico and final day win over Feyenoord.
