Jenny entertained by draws in Scottish cups (7)
I believe the answer is:
tassies
'scottish cups' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'jenny entertained by draws' is the wordplay.
'jenny' becomes 'ass' (jenny is a female ass).
'entertained by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are hosted or entertained).
'draws' becomes 'ties' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'draw').
'ass' put within 'ties' is 'TASSIES'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
