Is Celtic pronounced seltic or keltic?

"When referring to the Celtic people, their languages and culture, modern scholars tend to pronounce the word with a K-sound, recalling the original form of the word, which is the Greek Κελτοι ( pronounced "Keltoi")."

or

"Celtic goes back through the French Celtique where the s-sound was acquired, coming from the Latin Celticus prior to that (where it was pronounced with a k). seltic would be the correct pronunciation currently, in keeping with modern English."

All we know at best is what the Greeks called them. I don't think that anyone knows what they called themselves. EXAMPLE - Nippon / Japan
