Clear scope for a glove puppet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweep

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

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

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

'scope' is the second definition.
(sweep is a kind of scope)

'for' is a link.

'a glove' is the third definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'puppet' is the fourth definition.
(I have seen 'a puppet' mean 'sweep' so perhaps 'puppet' could also mean 'sweep')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweep that I've seen before include "search" , "Wide scope" , "range" , "Brush clean" , "Cricket shot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
