Officer could get broken rib, I raged (9)
I believe the answer is:
brigadier
'officer' is the definition.
(I know that brigadier is a type of officer)
'broken rib i raged' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'rib'+'i'+'raged'='ribiraged'
'ribiraged' anagrammed gives 'BRIGADIER'.
'could get' is the link.
(Other definitions for brigadier that I've seen before include "Military leader" , "Officer in charge of army unit, part of division" , "Air bridge over to the military officer" , "Rank above colonel" , "High-ranking army officer" .)
