Snoop Dogg Celtic investment motives questioned

Snoop Dogg has had his motives questioned after the rapper revealed his wish to invest in Celtic.

In an interview with the Sunday Mail, the 53-year-old hailed the “special” Celtic fans and says he has been inspired by Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to invest in a British football club. 

Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, Jeff Stelling and former Liverpool and Aston Villa star Dean Saunders discussed Snoop’s potential motivations for his interest in the Hoops.

Stelling said: “He says he would be mad not to consider putting cash into his favourite club, and he’d even be happy to take on the mascot duties, I love that, his favourite club.”

"Has he got a few quid?” asked Saunders. “I reckon he is probably caked in money. He would need it."

Asked if he believed the rapper was a Celtic fan, Saunders responded: “No. And you know what, there are only a couple of reasons you buy a football club.

"One is because you like Football Manager [video game] and you have that much money that you think 'why don't I buy a real football club, and I can pick the team and the tactics' - then you have a real manager and realise you have to sack him.

"Or, ego to say you own a football club. Or, to try and make money. Or, to try and lose money in some cases. So, what is his motive?"
