Taken literally, "Pro-Celtic" should not mean anti-English at all. The Celts
were a diverse race of peoples who inhabited the areas of modern Ireland,
Scotland, Wales, and England, as well as certain areas of mainland Europe.
Pro-Gaelic might be closer, as this refers more specifically to the Gaels of
Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man, but I don't really think it's close
enough. For what you were speaking of, "Pro-Irish" might be the best word. 

By the way, the Irish have a lot more than Oliver Cromwell to hate England
for, but I won't go into that here. This is net.nlang.celts, not
net.politics.
