How it possible I match a celtic gladiator? Is it because the celts were spread out throughout europe also in central europe and the balkans?

modern southern germanic peoples have heavy alpine celtic admixture. Also the distance of 33 is really far so you're like barely slightly related to the match... Also yes the celts did enter and dominate much of the balkans including modern Hungary, Serbia, eastern Croatia, western Romania, and small pockets further south in Bulgaria.
