Rebel creating revolutionary stir in countries (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insurrectionist

'rebel' is the definition.
('insurrectionist' can be a synonym of 'rebel')

'revolutionary stir in countries' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' indicates an anagram.
'stir'+'in'+'countries'='stirincountries'
'stirincountries' anagrammed gives 'INSURRECTIONIST'.

'creating' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for insurrectionist that I've seen before include "Revolting type" , "One giving revolutionary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
