Lech dudes in a tizzy slated (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scheduled

'slated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lech dudes in a tizzy' is the wordplay.
'in a tizzy' indicates an anagram (being in a tizzy is being confused).
'lech'+'dudes'='lechdudes'
'lechdudes' is an anagram of 'SCHEDULED'.

(Other definitions for scheduled that I've seen before include "Arranged, planned" , "Planned to occur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
