    Why is the football club pronounced Seltic but any other spelling of the same word pronounces it keltic?

    Just wondered.

        The "c" at the start of "celtic" can be pronounced soft, like an "s", or hard, like a "k". The most common convention is to always pronounce it with a hard "c" ("keltic") except when using it as a proper noun (e.g. Celtic Football Club, Boston Celtics, The Anglo-Celt newspaper).

          I thinks is something like 1 point from a possible 45
          Yeah, I suspect you're right. Still a pretty good home record although that was barely enough to make it to the last sixteen and the first Scottish team to make the last sixteen twice, not bad.
