Spread for ranger I am spoiling (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

margarine

'spread' is the definition.
(margarine is a spread)

'ranger i am spoiling' is the wordplay.
'spoiling' indicates an anagram.
'ranger'+'i'+'am'='rangeriam'
'rangeriam' is an anagram of 'MARGARINE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for margarine that I've seen before include "Reg and Marian make a butter substitute" , "Item of food" , "Substitute spread for butter" , "Fat-based butter substitute" , "F [FAT]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
