Ref's glared, out to show a sort of pride (4-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

self-regard

'a sort of pride' is the definition.

'ref's glared out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'refs'+'glared'='refsglared'
'refsglared' with letters rearranged gives 'SELF-REGARD'.

'to show' is the link.
