Praised for arranging dual date (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adulated

'praised' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'arranging dual date' is the wordplay.
'arranging' is an anagram indicator.
'dual'+'date'='dualdate'
'dualdate' is an anagram of 'ADULATED'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for adulated that I've seen before include "given excessive praise perhaps" , "Praised" , "Flattered in an obsequious manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
