Irritated, irked (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rankled

annoyed

(Other definitions for rankled that I've seen before include "resented" , "caused persistent annoyance" , "Caused ongoing annoyance" , "caused constant annoyance" , "Annoyed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Irish Times.
