US rapper Snoop Dogg says he would be ready to splash his cash and invest in Celtic.

The 41-year-old, who is as well known for his love of sport as he is his music and drugs busts, fell further in love with the Glasgow club after watching highlights of Celtic’s heroic 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League this month.

“I didn’t catch the whole Barcelona game but I watched the highlights. I know Barcelona are a big deal and it shows Celtic are a big deal as well.”

“I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell,” Snoop Dogg said.

Celtic went back to the top of the league after beating Aberdeen 2-0 on Saturday.
