Relegated (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demoted

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">relegated</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('demote' can be a synonym of 'relegate')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for demoted that I've seen before include "Put down in rank" , "Downgraded" , "Reduced in rank" , "Relegated" , "Slippery fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The Mirror and the Irish Times (Simplex).
