Celtic and Germanic peoples are not the same group. In fact, as far back as archeology can determine they existed, the Germanic Tribes and Celtic Tribes were bitter enemies. Celtic peoples included the Gauls, Gaels, Franks, and Britons, while the Germanic peoples included the Angles, Saxons, Normans, and Goths. The language tree is entirely different- just compare English to Gaelic and you'll see the differences.
