The 10 Scottish Championship clubs will receive 拢500,000 each from the Scottish government's grant funding.

The 10 League 1 clubs will get 拢150,000 each and each of the 10 League 2 clubs will each receive 拢100,000.

The Scottish government announced a 拢55m funding package for spectator sport earlier this month, with 拢30m earmarked for football.

A third of that is in the form of grants for clubs outside the Scottish Premiership including women's football.

Premiership teams can apply for low interest loans, with the government having set aside 拢20m for that purpose.
