Is Warne prepared to administer an oath? (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swear in

'administer an oath?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'is warne prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'warne'='iswarne'
'iswarne' is an anagram of 'SWEAR IN'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for swear in that I've seen before include "Inaugurate by oath" , "prepare to deliver evidence" , "Administer official oath" , "Get into office" , "Administer oath to one taking up office" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
