Scottish caveman, grand in crucial match? (6)

I believe the answer is:

fingal

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

'scottish caveman' is the definition.
'fingal' can be an answer for 'caveman' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'scottish' bit.

'grand in crucial match?' is the wordplay.
'grand' becomes 'g' (G is short for grand as in a thousand).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'crucial match?' becomes 'final' (final is a kind of match. I am not sure about the 'crucial' bit.).
'g' inserted within 'final' is 'FINGAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fingal that I've seen before include "Caveman" , "Epic Scot" , "His cave is on Staffa" .)
