A more urgent case for male suitor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admirer

'suitor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a more urgent case for male' is the wordplay.
'more urgent' becomes 'direr' (I've seen this in another clue).
'case for' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'direr' enclosing 'm' is 'dmirer'.
'a'+'dmirer'='ADMIRER'

(Other definitions for admirer that I've seen before include "girlfriend?" , "sweetheart" , "Married to one who cherishes" , "One who regards (someone) with respect" , "Fan or devotee" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
