Crossword Genius

Some crew rang leader in noisy dispute (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrangle

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

'some crew rang leader' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'WRANGLE' can be found hidden inside 'crew rang leader'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wrangle that I've seen before include "Argue noisily" , "angry argument" , "Altercate" , "row" , "'Quarrel, brawl (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
