Rangers have banked a winning bonus from their first Europa League tie of the season.

Philippe Clement's side kicked-off their European campaign with a 2-0 win over Malmo in Sweden.

And in doing so, they earned a win bonus for the club with money up for grabs throughout the league phase for wins and draws.

The victory in Sweden has earned Rangers €450k (£375k) from UEFA. A draw in the Europa League comes with a €150k (£125k) bonus.

Rangers have already banked €4.31m (£3.6m) for qualifying for the league phase of the Europa League this term. That fee is separated into a down payment of €4.14m and a balance of €170k.
