Ref's glared, out to show a sort of pride (4-6)
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.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
