How much money will Hearts get in Europe next season?

[BBC] Heart of Midlothian will pocket more than £17. 5m in prize money should they qualify for the league phase of next season's Champions League. The Jam Tarts are guaranteed to enter the qualifying rounds of next season's Champions League, and their final finishing place in the Scottish Premiership will determine at what stage they start their campaign.

A top-two finish in Scotland's top flight this season means a place in the qualifying rounds is assured. With one league fixture remaining - against each other - Hearts and Celtic are guaranteed to take those two places. But whover wins the title will gain a significant advantage.

The two sides meet on the final day of the season at Celtic Park. Avoiding defeat in that final match would mean Hearts win their first league title since 1960. Celtic, on the other hand, need to win to clinch a fifth straight title.

Winning the Premiership will mean entering the final round of qualifying, known as the play-off qualifying round. However, a second-place finish would mean entering the second of the four qualifying rounds. The relative financial implications for each outcome will be very different for both clubs.
