Tonight’s result has not only strengthened the Hoops’ standing in Europe but has also provided a financial windfall. Thanks to their two wins, including a previous triumph over Slovan Bratislava and a hard-fought draw against Italian side Atalanta, Celtic’s Champions League campaign has now brought in approximately £4.1m in performance-based prize money alone.

With the league phase setup, UEFA rewards clubs with substantial sums for wins and draws, making each point critical for both the club’s finances and European standing.

The revenue adds to Celtic’s coffers, creating potential investment opportunities for strengthening the squad in future transfer windows or improving club facilities.

Celtic fans are now eagerly anticipating what lies ahead in Europe, with hopes high for further victories that could carry the Hoops deeper into the tournament.

The positive results are a testament to the team’s resilience and quality, and there’s a palpable sense of excitement as the club aims to extend their Champions League journey. The money earned so far only sweetens the deal, fuelling the belief that this campaign could become one for the History books.
