Shot from right in dire cup-tie (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picture

'shot' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'right in dire cup-tie' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'dire' is an anagram indicator.
'cup'+'tie'='cuptie'
'cuptie' anagrammed gives 'pictue'.
'r' put into 'pictue' is 'PICTURE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for picture that I've seen before include "Imagine; film" , "Form a mental image" , "Portrait; film" , "Depiction" , "Photo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
