Bit of a scrimmage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrap

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bit' is the first definition.
('scrap' can be a synonym of 'bit')

'a scrimmage' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scrap that I've seen before include "Fragment or remnant" , "Junk; altercation" , "Waste metal or informal fight" , "Cancel; fight" , "Abolish; leftover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
