Uncle's rod (anag) — a bad lot (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoundrel

(Other definitions for scoundrel that I've seen before include "Person that's low" , "Red consul may be a rogue" , "Untrustworthy figure" , "A rogue or dishonest person" , "bad egg" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
