Each Anderlecht player is reportedly in line for a £35,000 bonus if the side defeats Celtic in the Champions League tonight.

The Hoops travel to Belgium having been humiliated in a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in their group opener earlier this month.

The Belgian champions, meanwhile, are also looking to avenge a less-than-ideal opener after their trip to Bayern Munich saw them concede three goals without reply.

According to Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad, the side's players have been given an extra incentive to get their first points of the campaign, with bonuses of €40,000 (£35,000) promised in the event of a win and €20,000 (£17,500) for a draw.

Anderlecht already have winnings of around £11m from UEFA after qualifying for the group stages of the competition and will hand over as much as £6.6m of that windfall to their players if they advance in the competition.

Last season the squad shared just £95,000 for their participation in the Europa League, which ended in the quarter-finals at the hands of eventual winners Manchester United.
