Snoop Dogg plans to open a burger truck at an iconic UK football stadium.

American rapper, 53, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has taken an interest in Celtic Park – the home of Scottish Premiership team Celtic, in the Parkhead area of Glasgow.

World away from his California roots – Snoop has spoken in the past of his love for the team saying he was inspired by Ryan Reynolds’ transformation of Wrexham. 

He has told The Sunday Mail: ‘I would love to bring a pop-up burger [van] to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good.

‘It’s got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon.

‘The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.’

He cheekily added: ‘Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.’ 

He also claims to have spoken to famous chef Gordon Ramsay about the possible business opportunity.

Last October Snoop revealed his plans to invest in Celtic, taking inspiration from Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The Hollywood duo took over Welsh side Wrexham for just short of £2million in November 2020, when they were in the fifth tier of English football and had been for nearly 15 years.

But they earned promotion to League Two two seasons later in winning the National League, and they secured a consecutive promotion the year after to take their spots in League One.

And it seems the club’s owners’ work is rubbing off on millionaire rapper Snoop Dogg.

Speaking to the Daily Record, the 53-year-old, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has outlined his desire to become involved with sport, and in particular Celtic.

‘I love what Ryan has done with Wrexham,’ he said. ‘It’s just a great story.

‘Investing in a sports team has been something I have been looking at for a long time. 

‘If the chance came to invest in Celtic, I would be crazy not to take a look at it.

‘I have watched so much soccer in Europe but I have never seen fans like the Celtic fans. There is something so special about them.

‘There is a reason why their fans are talked about across Europe. The best players and coaches in the world tell you there is nowhere like Celtic Park and I want to be a part of that.

‘Their mascot is a hound. You couldn’t make that up. Snoop Dogg becomes Hoopy the Hound – that’s gotta be a match made in heaven. The headlines write themselves.’

Snoop has been pictured in a Celtic shirt in the past, also saying the club are ‘his boys’ in a previous interview.
