Disturbing a French kid he produces a nose rag (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handkerchief

'a nose rag' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'disturbing a french kid he' is the wordplay.
'disturbing' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'french'+'kid'+'he'='afrenchkidhe'
'afrenchkidhe' with letters rearranged gives 'HANDKERCHIEF'.

'produces' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for handkerchief that I've seen before include "Nose wiper" , "Sneeze catcher" , "Bandanna" , "Suit pocket accessory" , "Nose rag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
