Assume you'll agree to stand (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

don

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'assume you'll' is the definition.
'don' can be an answer for 'assume' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'you'll' bit.

'agree to stand' is the wordplay.
'agree' becomes 'nod' (I've seen this before).
'to stand' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'standing' mean this (in a down clue, letters stand up)).
'nod' backwards is 'DON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for don that I've seen before include "Put on; man's name" , "Put on clothes like noss" , "A mafia chief or Spanish lord" , "Spanish nobleman" , "Put on; lecturer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
