I believe it is a mistake to identify those skeletal remains as Celtic or to assume they are descendents of European immigrants. The skeletons were found in a "non-Chinese" part of China - Xinjiang aka Sinkiang aka Chinese Turkestan. The native ethnic group are Turkish speaking Uygurs.

I think the central Asian Turkish peoples are primarily "Caucasian" in physical type. Here is a link which has some information about physical characteristics:

Re. the red hair - it is found most frequently in northwest Europe today and it becomes less frequent as one goes away from there. But it is not altogether absent in western and central Asia. Perhaps, it was more common in ancient times.
