"Bugger Holyrood," as homesick Glaswegian might say? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misgovern

'bugger holyrood' is the definition.
(the Scottish Government is based in Holyrood)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for misgovern that I've seen before include "Rule badly" , "rule unfairly" , "run badly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
