Snoop Dogg has revealed plans to open a burger van at Celtic Park. The Long Beach rapper is a longtime fan of the Scottish football team and wants to expand the stadium’s culinary options.

He intends to combine his love of cooking and football to bring tasty burgers to Parkhead and even serve fans himself.

“There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good, but that ain’t got to be the case,” he told the Sunday Mail. “People know that Snoop is a cook, and I would love to bring a pop-up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. It’s got to be Celtic Park, man. I mean, where else am I going to bring it?

“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 added, “Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!”

Snoop previously revealed his dream of opening a restaurant with Gordon Ramsay in Scotland. “I have told him I want to open a restaurant with him, and maybe it might even be in Glasgow,” he said. “For real – we are always swapping cooking tips and I do mean swapping.

“It’s not just one way traffic, I send him tips as well – he respects Snoop as chef. My boy Gordon has got a worse mouth than me but that’s only because of his passion.”

Last year, Snoop said he was ready to invest in Celtic following Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s success as Wrexham owners.

“I love what Ryan has done with Wrexham – it’s just a great story,” he said. “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.”

He added, “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.”
