Heart of Midlothian are raking in European money at a rate of knots this season.
Another Conference League tie, another win for the Jambos. Alan Forrest and Blair Spittal scored in the first half to seal a 2-0 win against Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia.
Not only does this put Neil Critchley's side on six points in the league phase standings, with the club in a healthy position to qualify for the knockout rounds with four more ties to go, but it also sees more money in the coffers.
Hearts had already banked €3.17m (£2.66m) for their participation in the league phase before any win or draws bonus payments. But they'll now receive another €400k (£335k) after winning against Omonia at Tynecastle this evening.
This follows on just three weeks after pocketing the same amount for defeating Dinamo Minsk away from home.
The takes their earnings up from games played up to €800k (£670k), and leaves their total at more than £4.5million so far when taking extra Euro-related fees into consideration as per Scotland's Coefficient.
Draws in the league phase of the Conference League earn clubs €133k (£112k) with losses meaning no bonus payments from UEFA.
On top of the payments so far, Hearts will also be guaranteed a fee for their final placement in the league phase regardless of where they finish but increasing for every spot higher in the table.
Every club will receive at least €28k (£23.5k) but that is increased by another €28k (£23.5k) for every position above 36th a club finishes.
Clubs placing first to eighth will be paid another €400k (£336k) with those between ninth and 16th earning €200k (£168k) for their efforts.
Clubs will take home €200k (£168k) should they qualify to the knockout round play-offs, €800k for the semi-final, €1.3m for the quarter-final stage, €2.5m in the semi-final and €4m in the final.
The winners of the Conference League will bank €3m (£2.52m) on top of all other payments.
