Getting card frequently, he is away with hot Scottish football team (5,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
queen of the south
'team' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'getting card frequently he is away with hot scottish football' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'card' could be 'queen' (queen is a kind of card) and 'queen' is located in the answer.
'frequently' could be 'oft' (oft can mean frequently, eg oft-quoted) and 'oft' is located in the answer.
'he' is within the answer.
'away' could be 'out' (synonyms) and 'out' is present in the answer.
'hot' could be 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps) and 'h' is found in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for queen of the south that I've seen before include "Important woman who came to learn from wise man's" , "team" .)
