Crossword Genius

I'm no sceptic, troubled about delusion (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misconception

'delusion' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i'm no sceptic troubled about' is the wordplay.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'about' becomes 'on' (**).
'im'+'no'+'sceptic'='imnosceptic'
'imnosceptic' is an anagram of 'misconcepti'.
'misconcepti'+'on'='MISCONCEPTION'

(Other definitions for misconception that I've seen before include "Delusion - wrong idea" , "Wrong view or opinion" , "Mistake" , "False view - economic pints (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
