The next Ryan Reynolds! Snoop Dogg eyes Celtic investment after being inspired by Hollywood stars at Wrexham – with rap icon boasting a £120m fortune

The 17-time Grammy award nominee is a big sports fan and regularly attends NBA and NFL games in the United States. He was also a torchbearer at the 2024 Olympic Games, becoming an unofficial mascot for Team USA in Paris.

Snoop has been a Celtic fan for some time and wore a Hoops shirt when performing in Glasgow back in 2023, while offering his “congrats” following a Scottish Premiership title triumph. The 52-year-old, who is said to have a £120 million ($156m) fortune, is now looking to follow Hollywood actor Reynolds into British football.

Snoop has told the Sunday Mail: “I love what Ryan has done with Wrexham – 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.”

Rap icon Snoop Dogg has also revealed that he wants to attend a Celtic game with fellow musician and avid Hoops supporter Sir Rod Stewart. Famous faces have been flocking to watch Wrexham alongside Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, including the likes of Kaitlin Olson, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell.
