The amount Celtic have earned for winning their opening Champions League tie can be revealed.

Brendan Rodgers' side marched to a comfortable three points with a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava.

Liam Scales opened the scoring with a bullet header at the near post, as Kyogo, Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah added to the scoring in the second half before the hosts conceded an absolute stunner.

The result sees Celtic put three points on the board nice and early, as their quest for a play-off spot got off to the perfect start.

Financially, it's all positive news. Celtic have earned €2.1m (£1.77m) for the win.

Celtic have banked €18.62m (£15.7m) simply from being involved in the league phase of the Champions League.

But the aforementioned amount is the fee dished out for wins in the tournament, with €700k (£590k) pocketed for draws.

Additionally, each club will earn at least €275k for their league phase campaign - and for every position above 36th, another €275k will be added to the bonus.

The combined Champions League prize pool sits at an eye-watering €2.467bn this season.

For context, the winners of the Scottish Premiership title pocket just £4.2m in prize money after an entire season's graft.
