The Celts were originally widespread across Europe, from Germany to Ireland. Gradually, they were pushed back into Brittany, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The Anglo-Saxons took over most of England, but some areas, like Wales and Cornwall, remained Celtic. Irish and Scottish are Celtic languages, as is Welsh.

Not England... the English (Anglo-Saxons) are a Germanic people from mainland Europe. However, in parts of England there was intermarriage between British Celts and Germanic Anglo-Saxons. In fact, the further west you go in England, the more 'Celtic' the population becomes.
This is also true of place names. There are more Celtic names in the west of England than in the east.

Was that the full question? or was it also supposed to read
'Fan club'?
Kidding,
The term 'The Celtic' doesn't realy make that much sense, if you are refering to the 'race' of Celts, then see the wiki list and a 'yes' to your question.
But remember, the language like the people are a mix of races so truely they (me too) are a mongrel breed.
