Removes old Scots in shows (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depicts

'shows' is the definition.
(I know this)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for depicts that I've seen before include "Paints or draws something" , "outlines" , "Describes or shows as picture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
