A prize pot of £25 million will be shared out between all 42 teams, with the Premiership winners enjoying an increase of £200,000 on last term’s prize money.

The top-flight runners-up will earn £2.4 million - £120,000 more than Aberdeen received last year - while the third-placed side will bank just over £2 million.

The team that finishes fourth will secure £1.8 million while finishing fifth will result in just under £1.7 million. The final top-six team will earn a little over £1.5 million.

The prize money is awarded on top of parachute payments, League Cup prize and TV money and Challenge Cup prize and travel money among other earnings.

The League and Challenge Cup totals (£2,110,000 and £428,990 respectively) are the highest in history, while parachute payments will also be at record levels.

The winners of the Championship will earn £562,500, while League One champions Arbroath benefited to the tune of £125,000. The League Two winners - likely to be Peterhead - will receive £67,500.

The team that finishes bottom of the Scottish leagues will be paid £45,000.

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “This season’s fee payments demonstrate the continued growth of the game in Scotland and reflect the huge strides that have been made by the SPFL and its member clubs.”

The money, however, pales in comparison with the sums dished out to English Premier League teams.

Manchester United - who finished second last year - netted £149.8 million from combined TV income, prize money and equal share, while title-winners Manchester City took home £149.4 million.

Relegated trio Stoke City, Swansea City and West Bromwich Albion secured £98.9 million, £98.5 million and £94.7 million respectively.
