Disorganised male given tie (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ramshackle

'disorganised' is the definition.
(ramshackle can mean disorganised or unsteady)

'male given tie' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'tie' becomes 'shackle' (a shackle is a tie or chain).
'ram'+'shackle'='RAMSHACKLE'

(Other definitions for ramshackle that I've seen before include "In poor condition" , "Broken-down" , "falling apart" , "Tumbledown" , "In severe disrepair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
