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

'people sort of supporting glen actively' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'people sort of supporting glen' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'glen' is 'engl' which is located in the answer.
'sort of' could be 'ish' (eg newish means sort of new) and 'ish' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
