How much Rangers have earned by reaching the Europa League quarter-finals

Rangers have reached the quarter-final stage of the Europa League

Barry Ferguson's side progressed to the last eight of the competition following their penalty shoot-out victory over Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce.

While there are no prize money bonuses from UEFA at this stage of proceedings, the Scottish Premiership giants have bagged more money by making it to the next stage.

Qualification for the quarter-finals sees Rangers bank €2.5m from UEFA. This comes into the club on top of the €1.75m they received for playing in the last-16 against Fenerbahce.

Rangers will play Athletic Club in the next round of the tournament.

And club chiefs will be hoping the run in Europe can emulate that of three years ago, when Rangers reached the final, to help maximise earning potential.

Rangers' guaranteed Europa League earnings so far

League phase participation - €4.31m (€4.14m down-payment and €170k balance).

Win bonuses (Malmo, FCSB, Nice, Union Saint-Gilloise) - €450k x 4 = €1.8m

Draw bonuses (Olympiacos, Tottenham) - €150k x 2 = €300k

Qualification to the round of 16 of the competition - €1.75m

League ranking bonus -  €2.175m (clubs receive €75k for each position higher in table)

9th to 16th in league phase - €300k (£250k)
