Rangers are set to receive a six-figure payment boost from UEFA.

A total of 13 Scottish clubs received money from European football's governing body for the involvement of their players in international tournaments between the 2020/2021 Nations League campaign and Euro 2024.

An amount of £2.4m was awarded to Scottish sides, with Rangers taking £443,119.

The payment scheme started in 2022 by the UEFA Executive Committee, with a total of £200m distributed to 901 clubs from all 55 participating national associations.

The rewards were paid out to clubs for releasing players for the 2020/21 and 2022/23 Nations League, European Qualifiers and Euro 2024 last year.

"Every success of our competitions is a shared one, and this benefits programme is another testament to that principle, recognising the dedication of those who work tirelessly to make European football the greatest sport in the world. When football thrives, everyone benefits."
