Despite a slow start, thanks to an early identification of the unclued theme (clever title!) I’ve nearly finished this week’s Speccy bar a few clues which I’d like help to check/solve.

Military unit about to kill old man (5) NIG?L (If it’s NIGEL I’d appreciate the parsing)

To go bald once a disagreeable thing to accept (4) ?I?L

Be nervous of scrapping fine organ (3) E?R (EAR probably, but why?)

Thanks.
