GOOD NEWS: Celtic is Set to Receive Another UCL BONUS But There’s a CONDITION Attached and That is Only if Celtic can….

Celtic Eye Lucrative £10m Payday as Top Eight Finish Beckons

Celtic’s impressive start to their Champions League campaign has sparked hopes of a lucrative £10 million payday, should they secure a top-eight finish in the competition. Brendan Rodgers’ side has accumulated eight points from five games, including a notable victory over RB Leipzig, leaving them well-placed to progress to the knockout phase.

Currently sitting 20th in the rankings, Celtic are just two points adrift of eighth-placed Monaco. A pair of wins over Dinamo Zagreb and Young Boys could propel them up the table, edging them closer to the coveted top eight spot.

Securing a top-eight finish would not only guarantee Celtic’s passage to the round of 16 but also earn them a substantial £9.3 million in additional revenue. Furthermore, they would receive £1.7 million for their final placing, bringing the total windfall to approximately £10 million.

Former Celtic player James McFadden believes the team has a genuine chance of achieving a top-eight finish. Speaking on Open Goal, McFadden stated, “I still think they have a chance of top eight. They have got Young Boys at home, Dinamo away, and then Villa for the last game.”

Celtic’s financial rewards for participating in the Champions League have already been substantial, with the club banking £15.7 million for qualifying and £1.8 million for each of their wins in the competition. Draws against Atalanta and Club Brugge were worth £590,000 apiece, while finishing in one of the playoff spots would earn them an additional £900,000.

As Celtic strive to maintain their momentum in the Champions League, the prospect of a £10 million payday serves as a significant motivator. With their next fixtures against Dinamo Zagreb and Young Boys, Rodgers’ side will be eager to capitalize on their strong start and edge closer to securing a lucrative top-eight finish.
