Snoop Dogg reveals new plans for Glasgow's Celtic Park
The 53-year-old hip-hop icon and longtime Celtic supporter said he wants to challenge the reputation of underwhelming stadium food by bringing high-quality burgers to the stands.
In an interview with the Sunday Mail, he said: 'There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good, but that ain't got to be the case.
'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?"

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, described the secret to a great burger as being all in the preparation.
He said: '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.'
A self-confessed foodie, Snoop has appeared on numerous cooking shows alongside Martha Stewart and even authored a best-selling cookbook titled From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen.
He's now set his sights on Scotland, revealing he hopes to open a restaurant in Glasgow with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
The rap icon revealed: 'I have told him I want to open a restaurant with him, and maybe it might even be in Glasgow.
'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 a chef."

However, the California rapper has no plans to take the burger venture across the city to Celtic's rivals.
When asked whether he'd consider bringing his burgers to Ibrox, Snoop replied: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!'
Celtic Park is already known for embracing bold flavours and street food innovation.
In 2023, Smokey Trotters Kitchen, a popular Glasgow eatery from the Barras Market, served up Katsu Fries—chips topped with salt and chilli chicken, cheese, curry sauce, crispy onions, and coriander.
Dishes like Scheme Poutine, loaded with haggis, cheese, crispy onions and peppercorn sauce, have also become fan favourites.
Snoop, who last performed in Glasgow in 2023, has been a vocal supporter of Celtic since their run to the 2003 UEFA Cup Final, and this latest venture deepens his connection to the club and its fans.

When asked about a potential move abroad for his son, former Hearts and Aberdeen striker Miller said: 'He would relish it. Yes he is close with his family, and will always be close. But if he did move abroad, he would just go on with it, he's quite a chilled out character. He's had a lot to deal with in his life and he just took it in his stride and went from strength to strength, so I'm pretty sure wherever he goes, he'll then kick on again.

It's quite funny watching it and seeing how it's progressing but essentially nobody has made any bids for him Yes, he would like to further his career down the line but we'll just need to see what happens.'

I spoke to the manager a few days ago and after that I just wanted to get the deal done. I've been on a lot of loans now and it feels like a new chapter in my career, it's a good opportunity for me and I think it's the right move for me at this point in my career.'
