NEIL DONCASTER has been paid a performance bonus of £91,000 for his role as SPFL chief executive.

The SPFL annual report and financial statement show he bagged a huge £388,000 salary, which has risen from £297,000 last year.

Doncaster has been rewarded with the 30% wage rise after securing a £160million Scottish Premiership broadcast deal with Sky Sports beginning in the 2020/21 season.

However, overall SPFL revenue dropped by 3% to £36.1m which is down to no Scottish teams competing in the Champions League group stage.

The former Norwich CEO has been in charge at the SPFL for 10 years and is the highest paid director.

According to the Daily Mail, a league source has backed the major bonus handed to Doncaster.

They said: "Neil's package reflects the ongoing and growing commercial success of the SPFL.

"The new broadcast contracts delivered just under 20 per cent more revenue to clubs.

"Crucially it also involves far fewer changes to kick off times, with the disrupted kick-offs down from 60 to 48.

"Attendances over the last five years have gone from 2013/14 when the figures were 3.8 million to 4.5million now.

"Per capita that gives Scotland the highest attendances in Europe."

The SPFL report also confirmed plans are being put in place to replace key sponsors Ladbrokes, Betfred and Tunnock's when deals finish at the end of this season.
