Having published a cookbook and discussed culinary ideas with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, Snoop Dogg now aims to set up a fast-food operation at the Glasgow stadium. Speaking to the Sunday Mail, he called the proposed van a potential foodie “Paradise”, a nod to the club’s nickname for Celtic Park. He explained: “I would love to bring a pop-up burger [van] to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good.”
The rapper shared his recipe ideas, emphasising quality ingredients and preparation. “The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation,” he said. “The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon.” Snoop added that he intends to serve the food personally to ensure it meets his standards and to connect with the fans.

However, he made clear that the venture would not extend to Celtic’s Old Firm rivals. When asked whether he might take the burger van to Rangers’ Ibrox stadium, he replied: “Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.” Snoop’s latest culinary ambition adds to his growing portfolio of sporting and entertainment ventures, including youth football initiatives and Olympic coverage.
