Yes. The strength of the celtic armies are (except of spear-elites) their swordsmen. The levy spearmen are no good line-infantry, only good to fight some Cavalry and outnumber the enemy. The southern and later spearmen are able to hold some time longer but stil the germanic ones are superior. Without a change to the EDU your spearman (*) could also be able to win one on one against the northern celtic Swordsmen.

Also germanic and celtic troops have high charge bonus which gives the better attacker a high advantage.

*There is some modifation of the edu which gives all spearman a penalty of 4 to attack, so that the spearmen are no longer superior in melee to swordsmen.
