Dundee United and St Johnstone are set to rake in £650,000 each in Uefa cash.

The windfall comes after Rangers and Celtic reached the group stages of the 2022/23 Champions League.

Europe’s governing body distributes cash via national associations to top-flight clubs who fail to qualify for group stage European competition.

According to the Daily Mail, these solidarity payments will see nine Scottish clubs split almost £6 million.

That means that, over the coming weeks, Dundee United, St Johnstone and seven other Premiership clubs’ coffers will be boosted by £650,000 in tax-free, lump sum payments.

Dundee, as a Championship club last season, will miss out, while Hearts don’t qualify for the payment, having reached the group stage of the Uefa Conference League in the campaign in question.

However, there is a caveat, with clubs restricted in how they spend the cash.

As per Uefa rules, money from solidarity payments is to be used only for youth development programmes and/or local community schemes, meaning it cannot be used at first team level.

Meanwhile, payments for Premiership clubs not involved in group-stage European football this season will increase by up to 80% when paid out next year.

Uefa has confirmed payments in 2025 to will rise by 21%, from £661m to £798m.
