Receive grant (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admit

This clue is a double definition.

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

'grant' is the second definition.
(grant can mean to agree or admit something)

(Other definitions for admit that I've seen before include "Profess" , "Confess - acknowledge" , "Allow to enter; own up" , "Stop being obstructive" , "Confess; allow in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
