One who worships procrastinator’s maxim? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idolater

'one who worships' is the definition.
(someone who worships idols)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for idolater that I've seen before include "Tailored like pagan worshipper" , "devotee" , "I'm devoted to my image" , "One who worships a false god or graven image" , "Worshipper of false gods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
