The Kelts must be divided into two groups, and they are by anthropologists. These are Proto-Kelts and Kelts. The first group descended from Phoenicians (who were mostly Israelites) and others from the Levant who migrated west mostly by sea, from pre-historic times until the fall of Israel and the subsequent rise of Carthage, Greece and Rome. The second group are the Kimmerians and others of the early migrations from the East who followed the course of the Danube into Western Europe before the invasion of Rome by the Gauls (as they called them) at the beginning of the fourth century BC.
Because many of the "Kelts" migrated into Europe not long after the Assyrian deportations, their language was still much like that of the "Proto-Kelts" who arrived in the West long before by sea. The later "Germanic" tribes were also for the most part of the same Israelite stock, but tarrying in Asia for many more centuries, their language was heavily affected not only by long degrees of separation, but also by the influences of the Medes, Persians and Assyrians, and ostensibly others also, such as the Thracians.
Please see my German Origins papers, which I hope to put into podcasts this year.
I am not going to comment on the connection of Visigoths to Judah except to say that it is mostly folly to attempt to connect the tribes of the Kimmerian-Scythian dispersions to particular tribes of Israel who were, for the most part, their ancestors in Assyrian captivity.
