Drunken Caledonian clubs ejected (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sottish

'drunken' is the definition.
(I know that drunken can be written as sottish)

'caledonian clubs ejected' is the wordplay.
'caledonian' becomes 'scottish' (Caledonia was the Latin name for Scotland).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'ejected' is a deletion indicator.
'scottish' with 'c' removed is 'SOTTISH'.

(Other definitions for sottish that I've seen before include "drunk, usually" , "Habitually drunk" , "Like drunk" , "Drunken" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
