I'd return rolls to get butter in (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intruder

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

'i'd return rolls' is the wordplay.
'rolls' is an anagram indicator.
'id'+'return'='idreturn'
'idreturn' anagrammed gives 'INTRUDER'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intruder that I've seen before include "Unwanted visitor" , "Trespasser" , "Uninvited person like burglar" , "Uninvited guest" , "Person who comes in being neither invited nor wanted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
