Snoop Lion continues to be a fan of random stuff


Snoop Dogg has asked to be Celtic Football Club's mascot for their upcoming Uefa Champions league game against Juventus.



The rapper, who last year changed his name to Snoop Lion, says he is so desperate to attend the crunch fixture in Glasgow that he is willing to lead the team out "like a little kid with the banner", reports the Daily Record.



He said: "It's the one I need to go to. It’s the game we've been waiting for. I need tickets but I want to walk out with the team like a little kid with the banner. Yes, yes, make it happen. Hail, hail the Celts are here. Yabadabadoo!"

This comes just a few months after Snoop said he was looking into investing in the Glasgow football side after watching highlights of the team's surprising 2-1 win over FC Barcelona in the Uefa Champions League group stage. that's as good as it's gonna get, lbr


lmao
amazing

At the time, he said: "I've got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams. 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."



Still waiting for Coronation Street to call him back

FAVOURITE CELEBRITY FAN, ontd?

I'd probably be disowned if I didn't ;)

I haven't been following as close but only because I have to rely on twitter for updates these days

The coverage definitely sucks these days, but the increase of season tickets sold is amazing. It's not even about the football, more about the way the firm were treated.

My dad is below the border and he's started going to Glasgow at least once a month to see them at Ibrox. It's stirred up a lot of anger and resentment for the fans and they're fighting back in the best way.

Yeah - I remember when it all went down and thinking that it was just so wrong to punish them. It's cool though, they are fighting back. I've wanted to catch a game at Ibrox and have friends that are like "yes yes, come and visit - the games are so much fun."
