Rangers' Europa League final with Eintracht Frankfurt will be the richest game in the history of Scottish football.

And while immortality is the prize for the eleven men selected to fight it out against the Bundesliga outfit, the club's money men will also be eyeing the prosperity that would follow a win.

Rangers have already pocketed serious dough from their run so far and progression last night added another €4.6million in prize money, roughly €2m in gate receipts and significant, though at this point unknown, slices of sponsorship and TV money.

Tantalisingly, holding the trophy aloft sees huge additional financial rewards as well as the obvious sporting benefits.

If they win the match in Seville on the 18th, the club would be in line for a mammoth €8.6million prize payment - a serious wedge for any team in Europe, let alone Scotland where the top club can only expect to pocket around £3m from TV rights per season.

But this is merely the thin end of the financial wedge.

The Europa League winners also qualify for TWO more hugely beneficial tournaments.

The first is the European Super Cup where the Europa League winners face off against the Champions League winners.

It's a one-off match that will take place in the 36,200 capacity Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

The August 10th glamour game against Liverpool or Real Madrid brings with it a €3.5m payout just for taking part with a further €1m in the unlikely circumstance you win against one of the continent's elite.

Again, that's just prize money, and you can be sure, TV, sponsorship and other earnings would be significant for a club of Rangers' size and stature that would easily help fill the stadium in Finland's capital.

The Super Cup money is a tidy bonus but it pales into insignificance with the other major reward in winning the Europa League - automatic qualification for the group stages of the Champions League.

Participating brings in between £25m-40m depending on various factors, a sum that could supercharge the Ibrox club.

It gets better though.

If Rangers beat Frankfurt they won't just be in the Champions League, they start as top seeds. 

That means they will miss out on being pared with some of Europe's top dogs and should give them a much better chance of racking up lucrative wins and draws.

UEFA currently pay out a jaw-dropping €2.8m for a win and €930,000 for a draw in their elite competition.

And good results could open up yet another opportunity for money-making if the Ibrox club could make the last 16.

That would pay out a further €9.6m.

There's a lot of ifs, buts and maybes in totting all this up, but even a conservative estimate would say £50m is easily up for grabs on the back of this single game.

It's clearly a match that could define the decade to come in Scottish football if Rangers can do the business in Spain.
