Furious about gang leader's teasing (7)
I believe the answer is:
ragging
'teasing' is the definition.
('rag' can be a synonym of 'tease')
'furious about gang leader's' is the wordplay.
'furious' becomes 'raging' ('raging' can be a synonym of 'furious'**).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'gang' is 'g'.
'raging' placed around 'g' is 'RAGGING'.
(Another definition for ragging that I've seen is " Teasing, joshing".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
