Fanatics who set Zola adrift? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zealots

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

'set zola adrift?' is the wordplay.
'adrift?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'adrift' mean this).
'set'+'zola'='setzola'
'setzola' anagrammed gives 'ZEALOTS'.

'who' is the link.

(Other definitions for zealots that I've seen before include "Fanatics" , "Extremists" , "Extreme enthusiasts" , "Partisans" , "Fervent or militant proponents" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
