Scottish club with Irishman in charge? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

celtic

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

'with irishman in charge?' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'irishman' becomes 'celt' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in charge?' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'celt' next to 'ic' is 'CELTIC'.

(Other definitions for celtic that I've seen before include "The Irish are part of the race" , "This tiger is credited with Irish prosperity" , "Relating to Irish, Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, etc" , "Gaels, for instance" , "Scottish football team" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
