Gouge or scrape (5)

I believe the answer is:

scoop

This clue is a double definition.

'gouge' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'scrape' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Hollow concave utensil" , "Type of ladle" , "Ice-cream utensil" , "Exclusive newspaper story" , "Dredge up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
