I have no Gaelic...so I'm just commenting not disagreeing...but doesn't that violates one of the first principles of Gaelic--that ch is always pronounced as a hard c sound? And c is always pronounced like k. For that matter, I cannot think of another Macanything in which that final c is reduced to a sibilant.
