Fixed broken digger (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rigged

'fixed' is the definition.
(rigging is a kind of fixing)

'broken digger' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'digger' anagrammed gives 'RIGGED'.

(Other definitions for rigged that I've seen before include "Manipulated by digger" , "Managed fraudulently - a tallship?" , "Set up fraudulently" , "Corruptly manipulated" , "Fraudulently fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
