The Celts came from Austria, they spoke an Indo - European language .They displaced the inhabitants we call Pict's.. genetic studies are revealing a much more complex pattern of immigration than previously supposed and a higher proportion of Pictish genes in the pool than would be suspected.
The gene pool would have been further muddied by the arrival of Roman troops and auxiliaries who settled in the country.
The Germanic tribes who began to arrive even before the last legion left came from Denmark (Jutes) Northern Germany,( Angles and Saxons) and Frisians.

The Celts originated far to the east of Germany. They were, originally, of Indo-Aryan origin; there were two main Celtic groups, one of which is referred to as the 'lowland Celts' who hailed from the region of the Danube, the other, often called the "true Celts" were peoples from the mountainous regions of the Balkans and Carpathians.
The Anglo-Saxons, a group that also includes the peoples known as Jutes, were settlers from the German regions of Angelin and Saxony, who made their way over to Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire around AD 410. The Jutes were a Germanic people who are believed to have originated from Jutland in modern Denmark, Southern Schleswig and part of the East Frisian coast.

The Anglo-Saxon were a combination based on two different invasions of what is now the British Isle-the Angles came first (the name England is land of the Angles) and the Saxon various times through out history; both of these were Germanic tribes. The Celts were native to Scotland and Ireland and weathered the worst of the invasions; the highlanders would have been the most protected and the Irish being off the far coast next. Celts were native or very close to it, some disagreement on that from the Welsh, and the others were German tribes. The conquest of England by the Normans was the last of the Germanic tribes to conquer England as they were actually Vikings who had settled in Normandy (land of the Norseman) in exchange for an agreement to protect the French interior from other Norse raiders.

The Anglo-Saxons came from north Germany. The Celts came from Gaul (France) - but probably a very long time ago.

If you trace the wanderings of the peoples you mention to an earlier time than that addressed by the previous answerer's, you will find that they came from points further east. And not all the Celts wound up in the British Isles.

The Celts - if there were such - originally came from central Europe. They were no indigenous to the British Isles.The people we call Celtic came from came from Central Europe and were not indigenous to the British Isles. They invaded or crossed and settled in the islands at some unknown time. The Galatians to whom St. Paul wrote were, in fact, of 'Celtic' origin.

The Celtics are a basketball team in the US. They are from Boston. Seeing as how Boston is absolutely teaming with WASPs, I would say the Anglo-Saxons are from Boston as well. But don't take my word for it. GO TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY AND DO SOME RESEARCH. Now was that so hard?
