A £3.6million payout for Scottish clubs has been given the green light by the SPFL.
Scotland's 42 member clubs will split the cash between themselves as the aftermath of the Covid pandemic continues to linger on.
With this latest financial boost now confirmed, the total fees shared by clubs for season 2020/21 amounted to a huge £28,357,215.
This excludes parachute payments and comes in as the highest cash output in league history after the 2013 Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League merger.
It's stated that the sum is £3m above budget and £5m more than the total fees handed out in season 2019/20.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "We are determined to continue building on this success in the coming years, working with our clubs and their executive teams to maximise opportunities to further invest in the game.
"We are extremely happy to be able to transfer £3.6m in league fees to our members this week, bringing total distributions to clubs for Season 2020/21 to over £28million – the largest sum in the history of Scottish league football.
“It continues to be a very tough time for our 42 member clubs as the entire country attempts to recover from the pandemic, but these vital funds will help support them in this difficult period."
