I think you are bitten by the classical "indices-off-by-one" bug here. The R 
interface of igraph indexes the vertices from zero up to 0.5.5, but R uses a 
1-based indexing. Therefore, you have to subtract 1 from "celticgroup" before 
passing it to subgraph().

Try something like:

celticgroup <- which(V(g)$group == "CELTIC") - 1
E(g)[celticgroup %--% V(g)]

The trick here is the %--% operator; see the following page for an explanation:
