Newspaper with name for rabble (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragtag

'rabble' is the definition.
(I know that rabble can be written as ragtag)

'newspaper with name' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'name' becomes 'tag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rag'+'tag'='RAGTAG'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for ragtag that I've seen before include "Scruffy" , "Mob" , "Badly organised" , "Disorderly" , "Masses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
