Scot, or a no-good American? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angus

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

'a no-good american?' is the wordplay.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'american?' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for United States).
'a'+'ng'+'us'='ANGUS'

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for angus that I've seen before include "Scotsman" , "Scottish cattle area" , "Lamb of God - . . . Dei" , "Former Scottish county" , "Steer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
