Top squad's remarks to spectators? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asides

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'top squad's remarks' is the first definition.
'asides' can be an answer for 'remarks' (I have seen 'Incidental remarks' mean 'asides' so perhaps 'remarks' could also mean 'asides'). I am not sure about the 'top squad's' bit.

'spectators?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asides that I've seen before include "Words spoken through side of mouth, not for all to hear" , "Words spoken from corner of mouth" , "Words spoken in undertones" , "Stage-whispers" , "Stage whispers" .)
