Suspend strange Norse followers (7-2)
I believe the answer is:
hangers-on
'followers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'suspend strange norse' is the wordplay.
'suspend' becomes 'hang' (to hang is to suspend from something).
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'norse' is an anagram of 'erson'.
'hang'+'erson'='HANGERS-ON'
(Other definitions for hangers-on that I've seen before include "Minions" , "Sycophantic followers - dependants" , "Sycophantic associates" , "Sycophants, unwanted followers" , "Persistent (and annoying) companions" .)
