5 down ('Scottish dish crony hasn't finished?')is obviously haggis (from the checkers). But can anyone tell me why, please? Thanks a million.

12D Thinking Ahead, Snap Up Article Dividing Labour? (12)

I know this has to be 'anticipatory' as the surrounding clues supply 7 of the 12 letters. But trying to parse it is driving me nuts! Can anyone help, please?
