Eh. "Celts" is an extremely sketchy culture. AFAIK for Archeologists it mostly refers to neolithic through early iron age people from like, what, I think like 1000 bce to maybe shortly in to the current era? It's really down to some trends in pottery and a language group. Like technically "Celts" can refer to almost all of europe at different periods.

That said, the British sorting hierarchy of historical English perfidy goes Germans > Normans > Saxons > Angles > Britons > Dawn People > Whoever came before them. Probably giants or something.

Also the Dark Ages didn't real, it's just Victorian historians being arrogant shits like they usually are.

The Celts were many tribes stretching from Britain and Iberia all the way to Anatolia. Why are are comparing them to only two Germanic tribes? Do you only mean Celts like the Brittons and Gaels?

Don't be a pedant. When I say anglo saxons it should be obvious to people what I meant.

It's not clear and that's why you're being asked to clarify your question
