How much Rangers could earn by beating Fenerbahce in Europa League

Rangers could further add to their Europa League earnings this season by beating Fenerbahce in the round of 16.

The Ibrox side advanced straight into the last 16 after finishing in the top eight of the league phase meaning no need to play in the knockout play-off round.

Now, Rangers will take on Fenerbahce in the round of 16 after the Turkish side overcame Anderlecht by a 5-2 margin over two legs.

Barry Ferguson will first lead his side to Istanbul for the first leg on Thursday, March 6 before the return fixture in Govan on Thursday, March 13.

Rangers have already banked £9.15m in earnings from their efforts in the Europa League. The figure comes from league phase participation, four win bonuses, two draw bonuses, qualification to the round of 16, a league ranking bonus, and a top-eight finish fee.

Qualification to the quarter-final, though, would see the club add €2.5m to their income from the tournament. 

The figures below calculate purely performance and participation earnings and do not include legacy UEFA payments or ticket sales.
