Made fun of escape from Alcatraz number two by Scottish hooligan (9)

I believe the answer is:

lampooned

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

'made fun of' is the definition.
(lampooning is a kind of making fun of)

'escape from alcatraz number two by scottish hooligan' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'escape' could be 'lam' (lam is a kind of escape) and 'lam' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'number' could be 'e' (e is a kind of number) and 'e' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pond' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lampooned that I've seen before include "Publicly ridiculed" , "made to look silly" , "Satirised" .)
