    For some reason no one can explain, sports teams are (s)eltic, even in Scotland.

    Perhaps it's just to keep everyone on their toes.

    It's for the English, the Sassenachs (means Saxons) can't say the k sound, ha.

    As the majority of the English are not Saxons (Sassenachs), it stands to reason that most English People are quite capable of pronouncing the 'k' sound. In fact we English think the Scots are strange when they call a football (soccer) team 'Glasgow Celtic' and pronounce it 'Seltic'. Perhaps you Scots are more 'Sassenach' than you think.
