In place of (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instead

'in place of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for instead that I've seen before include "In place (of)" , "use this as a replacement" , "As a substitute" , "Stained (anag)" , "In lieu" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror and The Irish Times.
