Sets kilt out for game (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skittles

'game' is the definition.
(skittles is a kind of game)

'sets kilt out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sets'+'kilt'='setskilt'
'setskilt' is an anagram of 'SKITTLES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for skittles that I've seen before include "Ninepins" , "bowling pursuit" , "Bowling game" , "Game in which ball is aimed at pins" , "Pub game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
