Roughly ignore old punter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gondolier

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

'roughly ignore old' is the wordplay.
'roughly' indicates an anagram.
'ignore'+'old'='ignoreold'
'ignoreold' with letters rearranged gives 'GONDOLIER'.

(Other definitions for gondolier that I've seen before include "Venetian boatman" , "to leave Red Lion disorientated" , "Singular SO" , "Craftsman" , "Venetian boater" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
