Take over from (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

replace

relieve

(Other definitions for replace that I've seen before include "Put back in original position" , "Provide a substitute for" , "succeed" , "Put back or substitute" , "Put something back where it belongs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Times and The Telegraph.
