Drags regulars from sack, then helps invalid (7)
I believe the answer is:
schleps
'drags regulars' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'sack then helps invalid' is the wordplay.
'sack then' becomes 'sc' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'invalid' indicates anagramming the letters.
'helps' is an anagram of 'hleps'.
'sc'+'hleps'='SCHLEPS'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
