The shorter of a pair of giants (3)

I believe the answer is:

gog

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

'of giants' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Another definition for gog that I've seen is " Giant".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
