We already knew the artist, the rapper with millions of records sold around the world as well as the actor with dozens of roles. We discovered the sports fan during the Paris Games in 2024 where, as a star consultant for the American channel NBC, he attended as many events as possible in the most extravagant outfits.
But, and it was less known, Snoop Dogg is also a supporter of the Celtic football team… Not to be confused with THE Boston Celtics, a legendary basketball franchise in the NBA. The team in question is Celtic FC, better known as Celtic Glasgow.
In an interview with the Scottish weekly Sunday Mail – linked to the Daily Record newspaper – Snoop Dogg returned to the situation of his favorite club which, after two defeats in a row in the Scottish championship, changed coach at the end of October. Martin O’Neill succeeding Brendan Rogers.
But for the American artist the solution lies in Ange Postecoglou, the recently sacked Australian coach of Nottingham Forest. “We must respect Martin O’Neill (already spent at the club between 2000 and 2005), he will come back when we need him, confides Snoop Dogg. But I think we need to bring Ange back. The club will do what it has to do, but the fans would be happy to see him again. »
Postecoglou had offered the Glasgow club two Scottish championship titles (2022 and 2023) during his previous stint (2021 and 2023).
He would consider launching a food truck in front of Celtic Park
Snoop was full of announcements during the interview and also indicated that he would not be opposed to taking responsibility in the club or investing his personal money. His fortune is estimated at around 135 million euros. “I don’t know about a coaching position, but as an investor, definitely. I have already talked about it and if the opportunity presented itself, I would be up for it,” says the man who has already owned shares in the Swansea club since this summer, which plays in the English championship.
Snoop Dogg, who attended the meeting between PSG and Botafogo during the Club World Cup last summer, has been a Celtic fan for years. In 2005 he received a team jersey as a gift and has continued to praise the club ever since. “Celtic is a huge club and the supporters want to see the best players playing in this legendary stadium,” assures the person who, according to the Scottish press, has already expressed his desire to open a hamburger food truck in front of Celtic Park.
