Wild capers produce tricky situation (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrape
'tricky situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'wild capers' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'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" .)
