Wild capers produce tricky situation (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrape
'tricky situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'wild capers' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'capers' with letters rearranged gives 'SCRAPE'.
'produce' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Informally, an awkward situation - or sore contact with rough edge" , "Abrade in capers" , "Rub; (bow and) be humble" , "Play a violin badly" , "Awkward situation caused by capers" .)
