It's a long road to the Europa League group stage for Rangers , Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.
The Premiership clubs must negotiate four qualifying rounds but the financial reward for going all the way is an enticing one.
The Ibrox side banked £3million after reaching the group stages through the qualifiers last year, as they were joined by Celtic after they dropped down from the Champions League qualifiers and won their play-off tie.
Rangers took a step towards the second qualifying round with a thumping 4-0 win over Gibraltarians St Joseph's earlier this week.
Aberdeen face Finnish outfit RoPS on Thursday while Kilmarnock head to Wales and a meeting with Connah's Quay Nomads.
If each of the three Scots clubs reaches the group stages, they'll be rewarded with around £3.32m in prize money - a figure that's slightly up on last season.
The reward for reaching the group stage alone is £2.62m, but with cash earned for progressing through each qualifying round bumping the total figure up significantly.
Once qualified, teams earn £512,000 for every while a draw nets £170,000.
Prize money will rise even higher as clubs pocket further funds from UEFA's co-efficient share, which stands at £75.52m in total for the Europa League this term.
And that's before TV and gate receipts are taken into account.
This is how this season's prize money break down looks:
First Qualifying Round - €240,000 (£215,793)
Second Qualifying Round - €260,000 (£233,776)
Third Qualifying Round - €280,000 (£251,759)
Play Off Round - €300,000 (£269,742) (only for eliminated teams)
Reaching Group Stage - €2.92m Euros (£2.62m)
