It can be pronounced with the /s or the /k. The /k is older, going back to the Greek language. The /s sounds is newer filtered down through Latin where /c was pronounced as the Greek /k and eventually the /c morphed into the /s before making its home in the English language. People decide what they are going to call it so /Sel-tics it is.

What is a Celtic cross?
A Celtic cross is a symbol that combines the cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It is the characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity, though the symbol has older, pre-Christian origins. Such crosses formed a major part of Celtic Art. This design is also referred to as the Irish Cross, or as the Cross of Iona. The exact history of this symbol is slightly ambiguous, and you may get a different answer from everyone that you might ask, but I like the theory that the inner circle is said to represent eternity, and the endlessness of God's own love. Besides the inner circle, the element that distinguishes the Celtic cross from other crosses is the intricate knot work that can be found carved into the stone. One of the most common knots you'll see is the Trinity knot. Other than actually going to an ancient church in Ireland, a great way to see the beauty of these crosses is in ornamental replicas and also Celtic jewelry: http://www.irishcelticjewels.com/crosses.htm
