Grace perhaps follows bad end for outlaw (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ned kelly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'grace perhaps follows bad end' is the wordplay.
'grace perhaps' becomes 'kelly' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'end' anagrammed gives 'ned'.
'kelly' put after 'ned' is 'NED KELLY'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
