April 5 – The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has allocated more than £23.7million in total prize money to its 42 member clubs for the 2017/18 season. This is an increase of £800,000 on last season’s prize fund of £22.9million.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “This season’s revenue distribution is the highest prize fund in the history of the Scottish game and a record windfall for all SPFL clubs.
“The SPFL is committed to continually growing our game in the financial interests of all 42 member clubs. A new and improved deal with title sponsor Ladbrokes and other commercial deals helped us to do just that.”
SPFL prize money is paid in addition to parachute payments, UEFA solidarity, Betfred Cup prize and TV money, IRN-BRU Cup prize and travel money, and clubs’ match accounts from cup games at neutral venues.
The SPFL Premiership winner will earn 13.4% of the total prize money – £3.176 million. In contrast the bottom club in the fourth tier of the SPFL will get just £43,000.
