Hello, could anyone please tell me what is right: ‘sceptical’ or ‘skeptical’? Thanks.

In English I think it is sceptical. 8)

Well, both versions are correct, I guess. As a matter of fact, I think «skeptical» is used even more often although usually words of Latin origing have the letter «c» where in other languages the words are spelled with «k».[YSaerTTEW443543]

Can you give me any examples?

How about these:
«october» — «Oktober» (German)
«cassette» — «Kassette» (German)
«cable» — «Kabel» (German)
«coal» — «Kohle» (German)

Sceptical is the British spelling. Skeptical is the American spelling.

In Swedish we write
Oktober
Kassett
Kabel
Kol (coal)
kål cabbage
The two different words kol and kål are pronounced the same way.
