Gospeller cordial but indifferent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lukewarm

'indifferent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gospeller cordial' is the wordplay.
'gospeller' becomes 'luke' (I've seen this before).
'cordial' becomes 'warm' (similar in meaning).
'luke'+'warm'='LUKEWARM'

'but' is the link.

(Other definitions for lukewarm that I've seen before include "Moist" , "Indifferent" , "Apathetic" , "Half-hearted" , "Tepid, or less than enthusiastic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
