ranger

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

'park keeper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'managed to get over bug mostly' is the wordplay.
'managed to get' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'bug mostly' becomes 'reg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'reg' written backwards gives 'ger'.
'ran'+'ger'='RANGER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ranger that I've seen before include "Rover" , "Forestry official" , "Forest official" , "park-keeper" , "Forest defender" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
