Equip a capital (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riga

'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Latvia)

'equip a' is the wordplay.
'equip' becomes 'rig' (rigging is a kind of equiping).
'rig'+'a'='RIGA'

(Other definitions for riga that I've seen before include "Baltic port" , "Latvian capital" , "Fix a rig up here for the Latvians" , "Baltic capital city" , "A rig in Latvia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
