Celtics for the basketball team in Boston (c as in ""celery""). I grew up nearby.

Keltics in Ireland and Scotland.

These are just the pronunciations I have heard. Language shifts and changes all the time.

I'm scheduled to be in Scotland next Monday. which makes me very happy!

All the posts I've read here (20+) are correct.

With an S. Yes I know the proper pronunciation is K unless its the Boston Celtics. I never use the word unless I said Boston Celtics. What can I say?

The Celts are the Welsh, the Scottish, the Irish, the Cornish, those from the Isle of Man and Brittany.

[lennox25]

It's K only !

[LilacTree]

Most research I have done winds up suggesting both are correct.

Thank you all!!
