Celebrated cup (and flag) to enshrine wrestling glory (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

holy grail

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

'celebrated cup' is the definition.
'Holy Grail' can be an answer for 'cup' (Holy Grail is an example). I am not certain of the 'celebrated' bit.

'flag to enshrine wrestling glory' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'glory' is 'olygr' which is located in the answer.
'flag' could be 'hail' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'hail' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' is the link.
