All of my life i have been pronouncing 'Celtic' like "seltic". But apparently it is pronounced "keltic". Is this true?

It is a 'k' sound. I do believe the football team Celtic FC is pronounced with an 's' sound- which confuses some people!

The Celtic [pronounced Keltik] is a fun language. By which I mean it'd confusing. The letter 'C' is the easiest though, it's pronounced 'k' so Cillian is pronounced 'killian' a Ceran as 'key-ran'. It gets far more complicated when you get into words like Lughnasdh or brideo'gas.

Celtic comes from the race of people that were Celts. Pronounced Keltic. The Scottish football team uses the Irish "Erse" pronunciation "seltic"; because they are "Irish Catholic", as opposed to the Glasgow Rangers, Protestant.
