Foreman makes group-leader rage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ganger

'foreman' is the definition.
(ganger is a kind of foreman)

'group-leader rage' is the wordplay.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
'rage' becomes 'anger' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'group' is 'g'.
'g'+'anger'='GANGER'

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for ganger that I've seen before include "Foreman of a group of labourers" , "Foreman in charge of grange" , "Foreman of a work group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
