What is your criteria for any nation connection with ancient population that lived before them. If it the territory we meet that. If is the foreign historical sources there are many that connect the Macedonians to Alexander (there are also sources that claim different because it suited them to write that at certain times). If it's the Macedonian sources, we have plenty Macedonians in the past that identified to ancient Macedonia. We also have many people named Alexander and Philip some centuries ago. The folk tales of Macedonian people mention Alexander as their king. This is the biggest argument according for me.
The language doesn't determine the peoples historical heritage as we are all clear. Simple examples are Irish and Mexicans.
So i'm asking you what more do you need to connect these things you are talking about?
