The grand movement of Americans investing in European soccer teams has added another prominent name as Snoop Dogg eyes Celtic. The American rapper and media personality is one of the most recognizable celebrities. His interest in soccer is clear, as he often dons soccer kits during his concerts.

Snoop Dogg admitted that he has watched so much European soccer, but nothing compares to the atmosphere and support at Celtic Park.
