Baccarat or cribbage entertaining old metal band (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torc

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old metal band' is the definition.
'torc' can be an answer for 'band' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'old metal' bit.

'baccarat or cribbage entertaining' is the wordplay.
'entertaining' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TORC' is hidden within 'baccarat or cribbage'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for torc that I've seen before include "Twisted metal neck band" , "Choker" , "Metallic neck ornament" , "Metal armband worn by Ancient Britons" , "Metal neck ornament of ancient Britons" .)
