Fitting, merited (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

due

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fitting' is the first definition.
(both can mean appropriate)

'merited' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for due that I've seen before include "Owing, unpaid" , "imminent" , "Rightful" , "Outstanding" , "Requisite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
