Annoyed glower after standing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rankled

'annoyed' is the definition.
(rankling is a kind of annoying)

'glower after standing' is the wordplay.
'glower' becomes 'led' (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'standing' becomes 'rank' (as in social standing or rank).
'led' put after 'rank' is 'RANKLED'.

(Other definitions for rankled that I've seen before include "caused persistent annoyance" , "Embittered" , "Caused ongoing annoyance" , "Festered" , "Annoyed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
