Old page the Spanish kick out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expel

'kick out' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'old page the spanish' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'page' becomes 'p'.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'ex'+'p'+'el'='EXPEL'

(Other definitions for expel that I've seen before include "Get rid" , "Force to leave" , "Possibly remove from club" , "Remove from membership" , "Evict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
