SNOOP Dogg is interested in becoming a part-owner for Celtic after watching the Ryan Reynolds documentary "Welcome to Wrexham", a new interview has revealed.
The Gin and Juice rapper said he would be “crazy” not to consider investing in the club during an interview with the Sunday Mail.
“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, 52, has been a fan of the club for two decades. He wore the club’s shirt when he played at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow last year – a concert that Snoop claims was “off the shizzle”.
In the same interview, Snoop also called for a Susan Boyle comeback: “Susan Boyle is a name everybody is going to remember…
“I haven’t heard about her in a long time but Susan needs to make a comeback. I’d love to sing with her.”
Snoop, who was greeted by a bagpiper playing his hit song Still D.R.E. when he landed in Scotland last year, said Scottish audiences are the best in the world.
“Scots always give me so much love – I am welcomed with bagpipes or a Celtic jersey."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
