Jack is scoundrel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knave

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'jack' is the first definition.
(knave can mean a jack playing card)

'is scoundrel' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for knave that I've seen before include "Rapscallion" , "Jack (card); base fellow" , "Jack - the cad!" , "[COURT CARD] , maybe" , "geezer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
