Digs cedar out, ashamed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disgraced

'ashamed' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'digs cedar out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'digs'+'cedar'='digscedar'
'digscedar' is an anagram of 'DISGRACED'.

(Other definitions for disgraced that I've seen before include "Suffering shame" , "In the doghouse?" , "Shamed, dishonoured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
