Marked keys in wrong date (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagged

'marked' is the definition.
('tag' can be a synonym of 'mark')

'keys in wrong date' is the wordplay.
'keys' becomes 'gg' (two G's - as in the musical key of G).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'date' with letters rearranged gives 'taed'.
'gg' going inside 'taed' is 'TAGGED'.

(Other definitions for tagged that I've seen before include "Labelled (electronically?)" , "Trailed along - labelled" , "What follower did" , "Touched a player while s/he was holding the ball" , "Identified electronically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
