Star more annoyed being in last place (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rearmost

'in last place' is the definition.

'star more annoyed' is the wordplay.
'annoyed' indicates an anagram.
'star'+'more'='starmore'
'starmore' with letters rearranged gives 'REARMOST'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for rearmost that I've seen before include "Fully behind" , "Furthest back" , "farthest from the front" , "More rats (anag)" , "last" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
