The US legend – who has been a fan of Celtic for over two decades –wants to personally serve up cheese and bacon beef burgers to fans at Parkhead.
In an exclusive 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.
'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.'
The Drop It Like It's Hot star, 53, is a massive foodie and has appeared on cooking shows alongside kitchen legend Martha Stewart.

Rangers news bulletin as battle intensifies for transfer target and Barry Ferguson told he could have Ibrox job for life
It is your latest news on the Light Blues all in one place in our Sunday AM round-up Rangers target Josh Mulligan is being eyed by three clubs down south - as former boss Barry Ferguson 's brother revealed he would be open to a return to management Dundee star Mulligan is out of contract this summer and is officially a free agent. And that has alerted numerous sides who are interested in the midfielder who played 41 times for the Dees last term. Mulligan had held talks with Rangers back in January as they considered a pre-contract deal for the player, similar to the one they struck with his team-mate Lyall Cameron. The Ibrox outfit ultimately opted to put their transfer business on hold as they finalised the arrival of Kevin Thelwell and Dan Purdy and that opened the door to English clubs to make their interest known. It is understood that next season's League One sides Plymouth Argyle and Cardiff City are both keen on Mulligan. Championship side Oxford United also hold an interest in the versatile star who will have his pick of the bunch after a strong campaign in the Premiership. Meanwhile, Derek Ferguson has revealed brother Barry could be back in the dugout in the future - and reckons his sibling could step into the dugout again if it doesn't work out for new boss Russell Martin. Ferguson left his role as Rangers interim boss following the conclusion of the Premiership season with Martin the new man in charge. Speaking to Ibrox News, Derek said: 'It's always hard to say, but he really enjoyed being the figurehead. He'll go back to his ambassadorial role for now, and if things don't go well with this next appointment, of course he could fill in as caretaker manager again. It could well be a job for life. 'Barry was obviously really disappointed not to have got the manager's job full-time. He was initially brought in with the intention to help out. 'But once you get your feet under the table, get your feet on the grass, it whets the appetite. Maybe now he has a different outlook if something else comes up. 'There are a number of jobs out there in Scotland and you never say never. He put together a good coaching team and the likes of Neil McCann and Billy Dodds will look to get back into the coaching side of things. 'Barry handled the job really well while he was there, and it looked like it was working. "You're left to wonder what could have been in the long term, but it wasn't to be. You may well see Barry and the other boys in another job in the future.' Elsewhere, Flynn Downes is reportedly wanted in Govan this summer. But Southampton would demand a huge fee of at least £10m to sell - and that could price the LIght Blues out of a swoop, according to The Sun. Downes cost £15millon on their return to the EPL - but the Saints are back in the second tier after finishing bottom in ultimately a campaign to forget.

Clement 'had bad feeling after League Cup final'
"I had a feeling, a bad feeling, after the League Cup final."The passing of four months has afforded Philippe Clement time to reflect on his turbulent 16-month reign as Rangers from Glasgow, and the febrile environment in which he became engulfed, has allowed him to pinpoint one particular game that he believes marked the beginning of the end of his time in charge at 2024. Pressure is building. Rangers are nine points behind Celtic. Only a series of good Europa League results are keeping the dogs at three days before the season's first domestic silverware is awarded, Clement's side earn another of those in a creditable 1-1 draw with Tottenham to Hampden, with Celtic heavy favourites to wrest back the League however, go toe-to-toe with them and are denied a spot-kick before losing on penalties following a 3-3 draw. "I think it was a vital game," Clement tells BBC Sport Scotland. "If we had won, there would have been more patience with the fans also and the board could have stayed much calmer."But Rangers did not and Clement endured a winter of highs and lows before being relieved of his duties following an abject defeat by St Mirren at Ibrox in the week that Russell Martin was appointed his full-time successor, the Belgian talks to BBC Sport Scotland about cutting costs, recruitment, mentality and the players he left behind. 'It's pity board didn't have patience' Every manager wants patience - and few get it. But Clement arguably got more than predecessors Michael Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst. After all, neither of them suffered the ignominy of a Scottish Cup home defeat by second-tier Queen's that his squad needed time to develop and grow became a regular refrain of Clement's and the passing of time has not changed his view on that. "It's a pity that the story stopped, that the board didn't have the patience, or maybe listened too much to some fans," he says."There are other clubs where there is a difficult moment and everybody sticks together because everybody knows the story, how the work is done inside the building, and they continue and they are successful afterwards."In three or four windows, we could have closed the gap [to Celtic] with a good development of players, but the decision is made and you need to accept it."As Rangers tried to assuage swingeing losses, Clement's task was to usurp Celtic but with a diminishing budget. Was he initially misled about what funds might be available to him?"No, not misled, but I understand now why," he says. "Because some people were already thinking about selling the club and selling their stocks."I think you need to go back to one year ago. The story was that the club was not financially sustainable anymore, so that was the story of the transfer window."Clement says he and the recruitment team were told they could spend whatever money the club were able to recoup in player sales and from cutting salary spend. But, despite taking "more than 35%" from the wage bill, an ageing squad, contracts expiring, and a lack of attractive young talent, meant the yield proved meagre. "You gain money by bringing young players in, making them better and selling them," Clement says. "That was the idea. There was not another road to take. "In the end, it's about deciding if the idea we had was working. You need patience to build it or you need to spend money. It's one of the two. "Without one of the two, it's an impossible job." 'Squad was not ready to be consistent' It had all started so well. Rangers were seven points behind Celtic when Michael Beale lost his job at the end of September 2023. But from Clement taking over until the end of February, their only league loss came at Celtic Park. That run ended with the Ibrox side two clear at the began to go awry soon after, though. A home defeat by Motherwell. A first-ever loss to Ross County. Then a draw at Dundee. Celtic never looked back after that as Rangers' mentality and inability to break teams down began to be questioned."I don't agree with that," Clement says of the latter criticism. "In moments, it was really good, but in moments not."It's more a story about consistency, about having the demand - physically and mentally - to be ready for that every three days."In the end, the squad was not ready. There were too many players who had never done this before."Clement also bridles at suggestion mentality was an issue. Mentioning the slip-ups against County and Dundee, he points out that "two players who were not good in those games" left at the end of the season and were perhaps distracted by discussions with other clubs at the time."It was never about not wanting to win, not wanting to work," he adds. "For sure, they wanted to become champions and they wanted to give everything." 'Four or five players could be sold' Rangers were unable to mount a similar challenge this season, with Clement leaving them 13 points adrift in the Premiership and out of the Scottish head coach Barry Ferguson did take the Ibrox side a round further in the Europa League, but they ended the season without a Clement believes Rangers are now better placed to succeed because of the signings made during his tenure and the development of those players."Nicolas Raskin made a really good evolution," he says. "A lot of clubs are interested in him. But you also have Jefte, Hamza Igamane, Clinton Nsiala, who will have a better value. Mohamed Diomande is also one of those guys. "The club has worked well the past year in that way. There are now four or five players with the value to sell and several teams would pay good amounts of money."The club needs to build with that, or the new owners have to say 'we don't do it that way now because we have enough money'."
