Dishonour, getting caught in shoe (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scandal

'dishonour' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'caught in shoe' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'shoe' becomes 'sandal' (sandal is a kind of shoe).
'c' put within 'sandal' is 'SCANDAL'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for scandal that I've seen before include "Subject of Sheridan's school" , "Shocking thing" , "subject for play school" , "Shocking disgrace" , "Something shameful or disgraceful, often public" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
