Angry about female being sacked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rifled

'being sacked' is the definition.

'angry about female' is the wordplay.
'angry' becomes 'riled' (I've seen this before**).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'riled' going around 'f' is 'RIFLED'.

(Other definitions for rifled that I've seen before include "Searched through" , "Ransacked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
