Admitted, granted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conceded

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'admitted' is the first definition.
(conceding is a kind of admiting)

'granted' is the second definition.
('concede' can be a synonym of 'grant')

(Other definitions for conceded that I've seen before include "Admitted to be true" , "Yielded, gave in" .)

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