Scottish Premiership clubs who miss out on the Champions League are each in line to land soaring solidarity payments from UEFA which will exceed £1million.

UEFA's mammoth tournament shake-up will tee up top-flight SPFL sides to scoop £1.1m – with a rise of 80 per cent incoming under fresh terms of the new-look format.

The gargantuan fee, which is edging towards what some earn in the SPFL distribution pot, comes fresh from clubs receiving welcome news over a boosted payment in the wake of Celtic and Rangers reaching the group stage of the Champions League last season.

This season nine clubs – Hibs, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone, St Mirren and relegated Dundee United – earned £650,000 in tax-free cash which will soon drop into club bank accounts, report the Daily Mail.
