I believe the answer is:

archangel

'the head celestial messenger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for archangel that I've seen before include "Among others, Michael" , "celestial flier" , "foreign port" , "Senior heavenly messenger or Russian port" , "Senior spirit; Russian port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
