Crossword Genius

Outstanding, as expected (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

due

I believe this is a double definition.

'outstanding' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'expected' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for due that I've seen before include "Appropriate - fee - now owing" , "Requisite" , "Ripe for payment or arrival" , "Unpaid or expected" , "Owed as a debt" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
