Marbles man — Nigel, possibly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elgin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'marbles man' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'aeur nigel possibly' is the wordplay.
'nigel' anagrams to 'ELGIN'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elgin that I've seen before include "Scots town; - marbles" , "Scottish earl who took statues from the Parthenon" , "Marble-gathering earl" , "He removed marble sculptures from the Parthenon" , "one who removed antiquities" .)
