Liar forced to complain (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rail

'complain' is the definition.
(railing is a kind of complaining)

'liar forced' is the wordplay.
'forced' indicates an anagram.
'liar' anagrammed gives 'RAIL'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rail that I've seen before include "Bar; waterside bird" , "Protest strongly (at)" , "A bird; bar to hang on" , "Bar; waterbird" , "Horizontal bar - bird - complain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
