Celtic Linguistics is not totally settled so this is all going to be a little approximate, but what we do know renders that speculation...extraordinary, to say the least. Those languages were extinct by 800 years before the VMS, and some of them by many centuries more than that. This would be like sounding out a text from Roman-era Germany using a modern English dictionary. Even if you're right about the language, they are so different that approach could only fail. Gaulish, the closest one, looks like this. "MARTIALIS DANNOTALI IEVRV VCVETE SOSIN CELICNONETIC GOBEDBI DVGIIONTIIO VCVETIN IN ALISIIA". It gets less and less like modern Insular Celtic languages from there.
I will admit to being a little jealous; I quite frankly wish I had the audacity to tell people they were not listening hard enough to Irish sound clips to understand Roman-era Celtic
