Snoop Dogg is open to joining the ownership team of his beloved sporting club, Celtic.
Glasgow Celtic, that is.
Speaking with Scotland’s Daily Record, Snoopy, who earlier this year invested in English Championship side Swansea City, is ready and willing to do the same with Celtic.
“It’s something I have talked about in the past and if the opportunity was right I would be down for it,” he’s reported as saying. “Celtic is a huge club and fans want to see the best players playing in this great stadium. All the owners have got to do is ask.”

“Huge” might be an understatement. Competing in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic F.C. is one half of The Old Firm, a name given to the historic derby matches against Rangers, which is also based in Glasgow. Celtic Park, the team’s iconic homegrown, is a beast, with a capacity north of 60,000 — fitting for a club with more than 100 major trophies, including the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) in the 1966–67 season.
Snoop isn’t just a casual fan. Speaking with the Record, he considered Celtic’s prospects, which is now guided on an interim basis by experience manager Martin O’Neill, following the departure of incumbent Brendan Rodgers. The future may belong to the past, reckons Snoop, who called for the return of Australian coach Ange Postecoglou, who is now available following the briefest of stints leading Premiership team Nottingham Forest.
Postecoglou captured a bunch of titles during his successful two-year reign at Celtic. “You got to give Martin O’Neill big respect, he is coming back when we need him,” the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” artist remarked. “I think you got to bring Ange back. The club are going to do what they are going to do, but the fans would love to see him back.”
Snoop, it turns out, is a man of many sports. The Doggfather founded the Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL) in 2005, which has produced numerous NFL players, and he hosted the 2025 NFL Honors.
And just last month, Snoop performed at the AFL grand final, the showpiece event for Australian rules football.
He won’t be ringing in the new year on NBC, however. After previously announcing that the hip-hop legend would host a two-hour musical variety special from Miami titled Snoop Dogg’s New Year Eve as an extension of the hip-hop icon’s larger deal with NBCUniversal, Deadline reported on Wednesday (Nov. 5) that the network has decided not to proceed with the project.
