Some skint here, daily owing money (2,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the red

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

'some skint here daily' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'IN THE RED' is hidden in the letters of 'skint here daily'.

(Other definitions for in the red that I've seen before include "Indebted" , "Broke" , "OD - with 23 & part of 13a" , "Flashing lamp" , "Owing money, bank account overdrawn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
