Can Tranmere Rovers finally get points? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tines

'points?' is the definition.

'can tranmere rovers finally' is the wordplay.
'can' becomes 'tin' (synonyms).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The final letters of 'tranmere rovers' are 'es'.
'tin'+'es'='TINES'

'get' acts as a link.

(Another definition for tines that I've seen is " Prongs of a fork".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
