No, you fascist piece of shit. The Celts are distinct from the Gauls - very much so. Both groups may be somewhat Gallic, but Celts definitely did not spread that far south.

Gaul was just what romans called them. Celtic tribes existed between Ireland to Spain. Go look it up on wiki

Ald Lang was the alliance between Scots and French

The Celts weren't a people it's just a language. The ''pre-Celtic'' people of Britain weren't different from the Celts. They just didn't have the Indo-European language yet

So my final summary of the question is that I think that the people who lived in Pre-Celtic Britain were mostly the same people who then lived in Celtic Britain. This is partially supported with genetic evidence indicating that there is a very strong neolithic-era marker among the British population. I also think that calling any culture or region 'Celtic' is totally meaningless; there has never been any serious argument that the Gauls, Belgae, Celtiberians, Picts, Britons, and the Kingdom of Noricum (let alone many other tribes/states) ever considered themselves a single people. And if they did not do so, then referring to them by a homogenous term is pointless. It implies that sharing your style of art, tool-making and language automatically makes you nearly identical. At best, we should be talking about Celtic-speaking peoples; that at least does not imply uniformity, whilst also correctly asserting that they spoke related languages to one another. We should not insert a notion of shared cultural identity where it did not exist.

EDIT: As a final notice, those in this thread who have treated La Tene material culture as being synonymous with 'Celtic' (or the same indeed with Halstatt), and those who have treated language groups as being synonymous with culture are doing the past a disservice. With regards to people who think that Indo-European is a type of culture/genetic identity rather than a language group, and those who think that La Tene culture was literally spread by 'Celtic' people migrating everywhere, I call into question your understanding of modern archaeology and linguistics.
