(synonyms)

'scot almost rebuked by english bishop' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is located in the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'bishop' could be 'b' (chess abbreviation) and 'b' is present in the answer.
