Dyed-in-the-wool Grannie and I’d wrangle (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ingrained

'dyed-in-the-wool' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'grannie and id wrangle' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wrangle' is an anagram indicator.
'grannie'+'id'='grannieid'
'grannieid' is an anagram of 'INGRAINED'.

(Other definitions for ingrained that I've seen before include "Deep-dyed" , "Dine in rag (anag.)" , "Deep-rooted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
