Rogue to trick Penny (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scamp

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

'trick penny' is the wordplay.
'trick' becomes 'scam' (I've seen this in another clue).
'penny' becomes 'p' (short for pence).
'scam'+'p'='SCAMP'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for scamp that I've seen before include "pickle" , "Troublemaker" , "little monkey" , "Rogue - perform inadequately" , "Scallywag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
