Script one translated for Maigret? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspector

'maigret?' is the definition.
(detective character Jules Maigret)

'script one translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'script'+'one'='scriptone'
'scriptone' anagrammed gives 'INSPECTOR'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inspector that I've seen before include "senior cop" , "I look over" , "Policeman; compliance official" , "Examining official" , "Morse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
