Crossword Genius

Late; it turns in after me (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

behind time

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

'it turns in after me' is the wordplay.
'turns' indicates an anagram.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'after' becomes 'behind' (as in coming after or behind someone else).
'it' anagrammed gives 'ti'.
'behind'+'me'='behindme'
'ti' put within 'behindme' is 'BEHIND TIME'.

(Another definition for behind time that I've seen is " Late".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
