Conor McGregor is one of the most renowned names in UFC and the Irishman took to Twitter today to inform his 9.1m following that he was keen on buying Celtic. McGregor has expressed an interest in purchasing Manchester United and the 32-year-old from Dublin said that he was keen to buy Dermot Desmond’s Celtic shareholding.
In the post, which was deleted, McGregor said that he saw purchasing a football club in his future.

The UFC superstar is a Celtic supporter and has previously worn a Celtic shirt during sparring ahead of a big fight. However, any suggestion that the fighter would buy Desmond’s shareholding is likely to be a gimmick given that his net worth is around £150m. Although, he may be interested in purchasing a shareholding and using the club as a vehicle to promote some of his other ventures. McGregor is a shrewd businessman, having enjoyed success with previous alcoholic products outside of his sporting field.
Celtic are enjoying success under Australian boss Ange Postecoglou as they look to regain the league title and Scottish Cup, having already claimed the League Cup this season.
