Turn it east and draw (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tie

'draw' is the definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)

'turn it east' is the wordplay.
'turn' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'it' reversed gives 'ti'.
'ti'+'e'='TIE'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Accessory" , "Draw - knot" , "Fasten; level game" , "Secure - draw" , "Restrict; link" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
