Tyrone town evicts German with a place in Nebraska (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omaha

'place in nebraska' is the definition.
(Omaha is a city in Nebraska)

'tyrone town evicts german with a' is the wordplay.
'tyrone town' becomes 'Omagh' (town in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland).
'evicts' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'omagh' with 'g' removed is 'omah'.
'omah'+'a'='OMAHA'

(Other definitions for omaha that I've seen before include "American-Indians" , "US 1944 D-Day landing beach" , "American Indian" , "This was old Indian territory" , "Where American may work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
