eject

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remove' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'squat in european court' is the wordplay.
'squat' becomes 'je' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'e'+'ct'='ect'
'je' inserted inside 'ect' is 'EJECT'.

'first person in strasbourg to' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eject that I've seen before include "Throw out (e.g. of plane)" , "Put out or expel" , "Spit out" , "Throw or put out" , "Dismiss" .)
