Already struggling Scottish clubs could lose out on more than £800,000 to UEFA if, as expected, this summer's Euro 2020 tournament is postponed.
The coronavirus crisis has caused a shutdown of football all over Europe, with UEFA convening a video conference today to try to decide on a way forward.
The ideal scenario is to move the European Championships to next year and finish the domestic season over the summer.
That looks unlikely in Scotland, where football could be suspended until September.
In any case it seems certain that Euro 2020 will be pushed back, either to December or to the summer of 2021, and that could bring a big financial hit for the leagues.
According to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, moving the tournament will cost UEFA up to €300million (£273million).
Since they would be moving to accommodate the club season, theoretically it at least, the governing body wants to recoup some of that money.
That would be done with a 'TV tax' in which UEFA would take a percentage of the money each domestic league receives from broadcasters.
The Premier League, with the biggest contract, would contribute the most money.
Corriere della Sera calculates the Italian contribution at €30-40million (£27-£36m) which is three to four per cent of their roughly €1billion (£911million) per season TV deal.
The current Premiership TV deal comes to an end in the summer and is worth around £21million per season.
If the four per cent 'TV tax' is applied that would come out to around an £840,000 contribution from Scottish clubs.
That is unlikely to be popular at a time where budgets are already being squeezed by a lack of matchday revenue nut everything remains up in the air until UEFA make their pronouncements.
It remains to be seen though whether it will even be possible to play domestic football in the summer.
