The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
Right, so celebrated is your definition there, meaning honoured or feted. For the wordplay, a rugby player gives you LION (as in a British Lion), then SIDE gets anagrammed — "off" is your signal to jumble the letters — turning it into ISED, and you just bolt that onto the end of LION to finish the job.
