Couriers in confusion with Greens in disarray (10)
I believe the answer is:
messengers
'couriers' is the definition.
('messenger' can be a synonym of 'courier')
'confusion with greens in disarray' is the wordplay.
'confusion' becomes 'mess' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'in disarray' indicates an anagram.
'greens' anagrammed gives 'senger'.
'mess' placed around 'senger' is 'MESSENGERS'.
'in' is the link.
(Another definition for messengers that I've seen is " Bringers of news".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
